Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Licensing Register (Scotland) Regulations 2007 (“the 2007 Regulations”)

Regulation 2(2) inserts a new regulation 1A into the 2007 Regulations to clarify that, in addition to the matters specified in section 9(1) of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”), licensing registers are to contain information about applications made to the Licensing Board (“the Board”) under the 2005 Act. This clarifies that licensing registers must contain information about applications made to the Board as well as information about the Board’s decisions in relation to those applications.

Regulation 2(3) substitutes a new paragraph (1) into regulation 3 of the 2007 Regulations to provide that the licensing register must now contain, in relation to each premises licence application made to the Board, a copy of the disabled access and facilities statement.
