6. Proposal to review current standard conditions attached to sex establishment licences pdf icon PDF 96 KB

The standard conditions attached to Sex Establishment Licences were adopted following the formation of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council in 2019 and have remained largely unchanged since that time.

Officers recommend that a review of the current conditions is supported by members to ensure they remain relevant, effective and reflective of current operational practices, licensing standards and regulatory expectations.

Officers have identified a number of conditions where the wording is outdated, lacks sufficient clarity, duplicates legislative requirements or does not adequately reflect current safeguarding and operational practices.
