Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Licensing Committee
Date of Meeting: 23 September 2025
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Licensing of Places of Public Entertainment – Review
of Licence Conditions 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:- 
 review the licence conditions for places of public entertainment
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Committee is asked to approve the following recommendation(s):-
[recs]
(1) that a further condition be added to the public entertainment licence
conditions that “The licence holder shall ensure that the layout, setup and
operation of the event shall be such as to minimise adverse effects from
emissions from the event (including noise, fumes, odours and lights) on any
nearby residential properties, and will comply with any reasonable
requirements made by authorised officers of the local authority”.
[1recs]
3. Background
3.1. Currently when a temporary or full application is made for a public entertainment
licence the applicant is required to provide a layout plan and supporting evidence in
relation to insurance certificates and, where applicable, food hygiene certificates. 
4. Present Position
4.1. Following a recent review of the standard conditions Environmental Services have
indicated that noise, fumes or light could potentially be considered as statutory
nuisances if they affect residential properties particularly with the close proximity of
some sites to housing increasing the likelihood of this occurring. 
4.2. There is no statutory nuisance regime sufficiently flexible to deal with short term
events therefore a change to the licence conditions is being sought to better protect
the amenity of residents living in proximity to sites regularly used for events and
funfairs across South Lanarkshire. 
4.3. The proposed condition would be added as condition 26 as detailed in Appendix 1. 
5. Employee Implications
5.1. None. 
6. Financial Implications
6.1. None.  
3
11

Page 12

7. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
7.1. It is not considered that the proposal has environmental implications. 
8. Other Implications
8.1. The risk to the Council is that it fails to fulfil its duty to protect the public. 
9. Integrated Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
9.1. There is no requirement to carry out an impact assessment in terms of the proposals
contained within this report. 
9.2. Consultation has taken place with Environmental Services who are in agreement
with the proposal.  This condition has recently been included as a special condition
in relevant licences, but it would beneficial to include it as a standard condition going
forward, to ensure its application and a consistent approach. No operators have
raised concerns over the inclusion of this as a special condition, and it is not
anticipated that including it as a standard condition will do so.

instructions on what to do if there is a fire.  You must display a clear statement of these duties in
a place within the premises which all staff members can easily see. 
5 We or the chief fire officer may set a limit on the maximum number of people you can allow into

6 You must keep to any order or instruction any police officer has given you:
• to avoid annoying the public or the people living or working in any nearby premises;

You must also make sure that the chief fire officer or his representatives, any representatives of
Police Scotland or any of our authorised officers have free access to and from the premises at

the public does not want to see the entertainment, as a condition of this licence you must refund
any money that person paid to get access to the entertainment before the entertainment began.

9 All exit doors in the premises must be lit to BS 5266 Standards and have exit signs in line with

this happening, advise the Licensing and Registration Service and send your licence to them.
Once you have done this, we will consider you to have given up your licence under paragraph

your licence. 
11 You must make sure that you have suitable third-party insurance for the above premises at all

17 The intentional release of helium filled balloons and sky lanterns at such an event covered by
this licence is prohibited.

the event. Failure to do so will result in the Council taking action on your behalf and passing

26 The licence holder shall ensure that the layout, setup and operation of the event shall be such

Extra conditions relating to sunbeds and saunas 
27 If you provide any tanning equipment, you must make sure that trained staff are on the
premises at all times to provide advice, supervision and help people who use the equipment
when the premises are open to the public.  You must train staff in how to control and use UV

dangers of UV light to both themselves and people who use the equipment. At least one

off the equipment in an emergency.  You should also put procedures in place to make sure
customers do not go over the recommended tanning time in one sitting. 
38 You must make sure that suitable procedures are in place to either allow a customer to get help
or for staff to check if customers need help. We will inspect these procedures before we agree
to them. 
39 You must make sure that you keep staff’s exposure to UV radiation as low as possible in the
circumstances. 
40 You must make sure that a standalone manual fire alarm system that includes manual call

This eye protection must meet the standards of BS EN 170, 1992, to provide protection against
the effects of UV radiation.

running water, available to customers using the tanning equipment.

customers are cleaned or disinfected after the equipment has been used. You should only use
appropriate cleaning agents as set up in the information supplied with the equipment. 
44 You must provide supply of drinking water for customers to use free of charge. 
45 You must make sure that you give customers a health questionnaire and suitable tanning
programme taking into account their type of skin, if they have used tanning equipment before, if
they have particularly sensitive skin, and any other information the customer gives you. 
46 You must keep individual records for each customer, which set out the dates they have used
the equipment and the level of exposure they have received. 
47 You must give customers information when they first visit, in line with the HSE guidance note
(IND(G) 209).  You should also make sure that you make customers aware of the possible
dangers of UV light. 
48 People under the age of 18 must not use the tanning equipment. 
49 If you use the premises to provide sauna or sunbed facilities, you must control the number of
people you allow into the premises to make sure there is no overcrowding.

54 You must make sure that at least one person trained by a recognised first aid organisation is
present on the premises at all times that it is open for soft play and other licensable activities.
That first aid training must be relevant to the types of injuries likely to be sustained during those
activities, and the number of first aiders required must be determined by risk assessment. 
Extra conditions relating to inflatable equipment 
55 You must make sure that any inflatable play equipment complies with BS EN 14960 “Inflatable
Play Equipment Safety Requirements and Test methods”.
