Licensing Act Policy Consultation
Overview
We are currently reviewing our existing joint Licensing Act policy in South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse. The current version of the policy, which was adopted in 2021, is now due a review and update.
The proposed policy includes updates to legislation and expansion to various sections to provide further detail and to add more clarity. You can view a document of the proposed changes and proposed Licensing Act Policy.
We invite you to share your views on the proposed policy from Thursday 4 September until 11.59pm on Thursday 16 October 2025.
If you have any questions about this consultation or require it in an alternative format (for example large print, Braille, audio, Easy Read and alternative languages), please email licensing@southoxon.gov.uk or licensing.unit@whitehorsedc.gov.uk and call 01235 422 556.
What happens next?
Once the consultation has closed, we will review and consider all the comments raised. A consultation summary report of the results will be produced and published on our engagement page. This report will be shared with the Licensing Committees, who will make the final decision to adopt the policy or not.
Personal details?
If you are responding in your capacity as a business/organisation, council, councillor or council officer we ask you to provide the name of your business/organisation or council - the summary report will include this information.
If you are responding as an individual/member of the public, you are not required to provide your name or contact details. Any personal information you provide to the councils within your comments that could identify you, will not be published in the summary report.
The consultation includes equality questions at the end. All questions are optional. All information is confidential and will only be used to help us monitor participation rates among all groups in our community. Further information on data protection is available in our privacy statement.
