Dundee Licensing Board reignite overprovision debate

Following the successful challenge by Aldi Stores Ltd on appeal to the Sheriff, effectively overturning Dundee Licensing Board's 2014 Overprovision Policy, the Board have signaled their desire to look again at the issue. They have agreed to launch a consultation which will run from July to September 2017 seeking views on the proposition that Dundee is overprovided for particular licensed premises. Pubs and off-sales are the focus of overprovision with the Consultation seemingly accepting that restaurants, cafes and hotels would not be caught. The August Bulletin will provide more details once the consultation paper has been released.
