Saturation zones were introduced through the Licensing Act in 2003, as a response to crime and disorder and nuisance problems arising from the cumulative effect of having a number of licensed premises operating in close proximity to each other in a small area. A saturation zone is only introduced where there is evidence to show that it is 'appropriate and necessary' to introduce a policy to control the growth of licensed premises.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
