In the case of applications numbers 16 - 40, the Committee agreed that consideration of these applications be deferred to a future meeting of the Committee.
The Committee further agreed at the suggestion of Councillor Grant that an approach be made to the Scottish Executive seeking to amend the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 to make it a pre-requisite when applying for a licence for the use of premises that all necessary planning consents are obtained beforehand, thus bringing the legislation into line with the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976 which already contains such a requirement for liquor licensed premises.
Accordingly, the Committee agreed to write to the Executive in the names of the Conevners of the Licensing and Planning and Transportation Committees to this effect.
