Highland Licensing Board Functions Report 2019-20 The Highland Licensing Board Agenda 6 Item Meeting – 23 June 2020 Report HLB/036/20 No The Highland Licensing Board Functions Report 2019-20 Report by the Clerk to the Licensing Board Summary This report invites the Board to approve the Board’s third annual functions report for publication in accordance with section 9A of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. 1. Background 1.1 The Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2015 amended the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the Act”) to introduce a requirement that Licensing Boards produce and publish annual functions reports. 1.2 As a consequence, section 9A was inserted into the Act and came into force on 20 December 2017. 1.3 Section 9A of the Act states that the Board’s annual functions report must be prepared and published not later than 3 months after the end of each financial year. This means that the Board’s report for the financial year 2019-20 must be published, under normal circumstances, by no later than the end of June 2020. It is noted that under schedule 5 of the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020 that a further 9 months is available to the Board if they are unable to publish their annual functions report by the end of June, due to a reason relating to coronavirus, but that is not required in this case. 1.4 The functions report must include- (a) a statement explaining how the Board has regard to- (i) the licensing objectives, and (ii) their licensing policy statement and any supplementary licensing policy statement (including the Board’s statement under section 7(1) (duty to assess overprovision)), in the exercise of their functions under this Act during the financial year, (b) a summary of the decisions made by (or on behalf of) the Board during the financial year, and (c) information about the number of licences held under this Act in the Board’s area (including information about the number of occasional licences issued during the year) 1.5 Section 9A of the Act states that the report may include such other information about the exercise of the Licensing Board’s functions under this Act as the Board considers appropriate. 1.6 Section 9A also allows for the Scottish Ministers to make further provision about reports under this section including, in particular, provision about (a) the form and required content of reports and (b) the publication of reports. However, to date, no official guidance on this has been provided by Scottish Ministers. 1.7 The draft annual functions report is attached at Appendix 1 for members’ approval. The report sets out all the types of licences that the Board is responsible for determining. It also includes details of all the functions of the Board and how the Board has regard to the licensing objectives and their licensing policy statement and supplementary documentation. 1.8 There are several reports appended to the annual functions report which provides a breakdown of the total number of licences (premises and personal licences) that are currently in force within Highland. 1.9 There are also reports showing the list of applications considered by the Board and applications granted under delegated powers on behalf of the Board during the financial year. 1.10 A breakdown of revocations of premises licences has been provided together with details of personal licence reviews within the financial year. 1.11 These appendices to the draft annual functions report are attached to this report as Appendices 3 to 9, to retain their numbering in the functions report. 1.12 Information has also been provided on the Highland Licensing Forum and the role of the Licensing Standards Officers as supplementary information. Recommendation The Board is invited to approve the draft functions report 2019-20 attached at Appendix 1 for publication in accordance with section 9A of the 2005 Act.

Total number of personal licences 2 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The Highland Licensing Board (“the Board”) is the licensing authority for the local government area of the Highlands for the purposes of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the Act”). The area extends to 26,484 square kilometres, one third of the land area of Scotland. 1.2 The 2011 Census figures show that the population of Highland on Census day was 232,132 and it increased to 235,540 in mid-2018. This is the seventh highest population of the 32 licensing board areas in Scotland. 1.3 The current Board which was formed in May 2017 comprises ten members, who are all elected members of The Highland Council. The Board is responsible for the functions as set out in Paragraph 2 below within the Highlands. 1.4 The Act makes provision for regulating the sale of alcohol and for regulating licensed premises and other premises on which alcohol is sold. 1.5 Under the Act, the Licensing Board is responsible for considering applications for: • Premises licences • Occasional licences • Provisional licences • Temporary licences • Personal licences • Transfer of premises licences • Variation of premises licences • Extension of licensing hours 1.6 The Act set out the five licensing objectives (“the licensing objectives”) as set out below: • Preventing crime and disorder • Securing public safety • Preventing public nuisance • Protecting and improving public health • Protecting children and young persons from harm 3 1.7 The licensing objectives provide a basis for the administration of the licensing regime. They also provide potential reasons for refusal of an application for the grant or variation of a premises licence, an occasional licence or a personal licence. Breach of the objectives may provide grounds for reviewing a premises licence or a personal licence. Conditions attached to a premises licence or an occasional licence may be based on any one or more of the licensing objectives. 2.0 Functions of the Board 2.1 The functions of the Board are set out in Schedule 1 of the Act and are summarised below: • Determining the Board’s policy for the purposes of a licensing policy statement or supplementary licensing policy statement • Determining, for the purposes of any such statement, whether there is overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of any particular description, in any locality • Determining a premises licence application • Determining a premises licence variation application where the variation sought is not a minor variation • Determining an application for the transfer of a premises licence where the applicant has been convicted of a relevant offence or a foreign offence • Determining a personal licence application or a personal licence renewal application where the application has been convicted of a relevant offence or a foreign offence • Conducting a hearing in respect of a review of a premises licence • Conducting a hearing in respect of revoking, suspending or endorsing a personal licence • Making a closure order • Refusing an application for confirmation of a provisional premises licence 3.0 How the Board has regard to the licensing objectives 3.1 In exercising its functions under the Act, the Board is required to have regard to the licensing objectives as stated at Paragraph 1.6. 3.2 Promotion of the licensing objectives is always at the forefront of the Board’s consideration in determining its policies for the purposes of its policy statement. 4 3.2 When determining licence applications, the Board verifies that all applications before them are consistent with the licensing objectives and ensures that any potential issues are addressed through appropriate measures to safeguard full compliance with the licensing objectives. Such measures include attaching local and special conditions to licences if necessary. Examples of these can be found in the appendices to the Board’s Policy Statement. 4.0 How the Board has regard to their Licensing Policy Statement 4.1 The Board is aware that all applications before the Board are to be dealt with in an open and transparent manner in accordance with licensing legislation and their Board policy documents. 4.2 Information and assistance was made available to persons wishing to apply for a licence, make representations or lodge objections. 4.3 The Board, when making their determinations, took into account their policy statement 2018 to 2023 and their supplementary licensing policy statement on extended hours during the festive period.

  • Fault: the Rise of the Rosemarkie Inlier and the Acadian Event in 3 Scotland
    1 Mid-Devonian sinistral transpressional movements on the Great Glen 2 Fault: the rise of the Rosemarkie Inlier and the Acadian Event in 3 Scotland. 4 5 J.R. Mendum1 & S.R. Noble2 6 1British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh, EH9 3LA 7 2NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham 8 Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG 9 e-mail: [email protected] 10 11 Abstract 12 The Rosemarkie Inlier is a small fault-bounded lens of interleaved Moine psammites and 13 possible Lewisianoid orthogneisses with distinctive leucogranite veins and pods that lies 14 adjacent to the Great Glen Fault (GGF). The basement rocks and most of the 15 leucogranites are strongly deformed and tightly folded with foliations generally steeply 16 dipping and a locally well-developed NE-plunging rodding lineation. Mid-Devonian 17 sandstone and conglomerate unconformably overlie the inlier on its western side. 18 Monazite from a deformed leucogranite vein gave a mean ID-TIMS 207Pb/235U age of 19 397.6 ± 2.2 Ma and acicular zircons gave a compatible concordant ID-TIMS U-Pb age of 20 400.8 ± 2.6 Ma, dating emplacement as mid-Devonian. Xenocrystic zircons from the 21 leucogranites and complex zoned zircons from two adjacent tonalitic gneisses gave LA- 22 MC-ICP-MS concordant ages between 2720 and 2930 Ma confirming their Archaean 23 Lewisianoid origin. Leucogranite emplacement is interpreted to mark the onset of 24 Acadian transpression and sinistral strike-slip movement on the GGF that resulted in 25 multi-phase deformation and oblique exhumation of the Rosemarkie Inlier.

  • A History of the Lairds of Grant and Earls of Seafield
    t5^ %• THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY GAROWNE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD. THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

  • Highland NHS Board 2 December 2014 Item 4.1 PROPOSED
    Highland NHS Board 2 December 2014 Item 4.1 PROPOSED REDESIGN OF SERVICES IN SKYE, LOCHALSH AND SOUTH WEST ROSS Report by Gill McVicar, Director of Operations (North and West) and Maimie Thompson, Head of Public Relations and Engagement on behalf of Deborah Jones, Chief Operating Officer The Board is asked to: Consider the detailed report on the feedback from the three month public consultation into proposed major service change. Note the feedback from the Scottish Health Council endorsing the options appraisal and consultation process. Endorse the recommendation in support of the preferred option – to develop a Community ‘Hub’ in Broadford and a ‘Spoke’ in Portree. Note the next steps and the requirement for any decision on proposed major service change to be considered by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing. 1 Background and Summary This paper reflects the culmination of a huge amount of work which has taken place over the past five years as part of a comprehensive engagement exercises with communities in Skye, Lochalsh and South West Ross (part of North and West Operational Unit). In particular it highlights the main findings from the formal three month public consultation exercise but touches on the earlier options appraisal process. Within Skye, Lochalsh and South West Ross, some services are not adequately resourced making them not as safe, effective or efficient as they need to be to meet future demands. In addition the two local community hospitals are not in good physical condition and not designed to meet modern standards. It is increasingly difficult to maintain and sustain the current hospital services due to the condition of the facilities, availability of staff and the cost.

  • KNOYDART a Two-Day Bothy Adventure in the Wilderness of the Rough Bounds
    KNOYDART A two-day bothy adventure in the wilderness of the Rough Bounds Overview The so-called 'Rough Bounds' of Knoydart – often described as Britain's last wilderness – are difficult to reach. Getting to the start of the route involves either a boat trip or long car journey along a winding, 20 mile single-track road. Cut off from the UK road network, the peninsula is a wild place of rugged mountains, remote glens and fjord-like sea lochs. This spectacular area includes three Munros and its coastal views take in Skye and the islands of the Inner Hebrides. In the 19th century, the peninsula fell victim to the Highland clearances but since 1999, after huge fundraising efforts, the land has been owned and managed by its own small community. Some days you won’t bump into another soul in here – although you may spot minke whales, eagles, otters and stags. Despite its inaccessibility, there are good paths connecting the glens and these provide exceptional running through challenging terrain. This fastpacking circuit is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the unique landscape. Highlights • A truly special wilderness experience in a remote and spectacular location • A superb route on a legacy network of well-made paths through wild terrain • Spectacular views of rugged mountain and coastal scenery • Plentiful wildlife including red deer, otters, pine martens and birds of prey such as golden eagles • An overnight stay or wild camp at Sourlies bothy • Fantastic running, descending off the passes and along loch-side paths. Top tips • Be prepared for a serious run in a remote area with limited escape options.
