Decision details

The Chief Executive submitted a report seeking Committee’s approval of the Council’s procedure and conditions attached to exhibition, demonstration or performance of hypnotism.

It was noted that the licensing authority did not currently have a set procedure or any model conditions which would attach to such consents.  These had been drafted to ensure that the public and in particular younger people or vulnerable adults are protected when hypnotism events take place.

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

1.     Approve the Application form, Model Conditions and Guidance notes for consent to exhibition, demonstration or performance of hypnotism at Appendix 1 to the report.

2.     Approve the amendment of the Council’s Licensing Scheme of delegation to include Officer approval of such consents, save where refusal is recommended where the matter will be referred to a Licensing Sub-committee for decision.
