Appendix 10. The City of WestminsterPoliceLicensing Policy StatementWestminster Police are committed to reducing the levels of crime and disorderassociated with premises undertaking ‘Licensable Activities’ and to providing activesupervision of such premises. We will work in partnership with licensed premisesto ensure that they are aware of the principles of good management and abideby them. Where co-operation is not forthcoming, we will enforce compliance withexisting legislation by working in partnership with Westminster City Council and otherResponsible Authorities.Whilst every application will be considered on its individual merits and there will beno general policy of opposing all new applications or variations, this policy seeks toallow for the fact that the City of Westminster occupies a unique position in terms of itspolicing challenges.Premises licensed for the sale and consumption of alcohol create signifi cant demandson resources. This Policy must balance the various competing rights of individualsand businesses whilst allowing police to focus their resources on those areas ofgreatest need and effectively reduce crime and disorder.Westminster Police believe that the cumulative impact on levels of crime and disordergenerated by licensed premises within the West End Stress Area is signifi cant. Anyfurther increase in the numbers of licensed premises within this area would lead to anincrease in overall crime and disorder and should not be countenanced.Therefore, any application relating to premises within the West End Stress Area whichis likely to add to the crime and disorder problems which already exist, is likely to resultin an objection by the police unless exceptional circumstances apply.All other applications will be opposed only if their granting would lead to an increase incrime and disorder. Premises seeking to ensure that they comply with the objective ofpreventing crime and disorder should follow the advice contained within the relevantappendix of this Statement of Licensing Policy.This policy should be read in conjunction with the Statement of Licensing Policyproduced by Westminster City Council.121
