SOUTH LAKES BEST PRACTICE GUIDANCE

The supervision and enforcement of activities associated with premises licences within South Lakeland is the shared partnership responsibility between officers from South Lakeland District Council, as the licensing authority, Cumbria Constabulary, Cumbria Fire and Rescue and most importantly the Premises Licence Holder or Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS).

Our partnership policy is to work for compliance and seek best working practices. Only when this has failed, or due to circumstances, is likely to fail, will we resort to legal action.

Using the attached best practice guidance will help you to deliver responsible management of your premises in line with the licensing objectives.  Should you require further advice contact any partner agencies outlined in the guidance document.
