WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE LICENSING BOARD - LOCAL AREA PROFILE Section one: Introduction 1. The West Dunbartonshire Licensing Board (“the Licensing Board”) recognises the importance of a well-regulated gambling industry. Firstly, so that customers can use gambling premises in West Dunbartonshire safely and secondly, to manage the impact of gambling premises in the local area. Therefore, the Licensing Board, while aiming to permit the use of premises for gambling, will closely scrutinise any application to make sure that it is consistent with the licensing objectives, the Gambling Commission’s Guidance to Local Authorities and Codes of Practice and the Licensing Board’s own Statement of Principles. This Local Area Profile will help inform both the Licensing Board, the applicant and/or the licensee when considering these applications. 2. While not a statutory requirement, the Gambling Commission’s Guidance to Local Authorities sets out that “licensing authorities will find it useful to complete their own assessment of the local environment as a means of mapping out local areas of concern, which can be reviewed and updated to reflect changes to the local landscape”.1 Therefore, the Licensing Board has, when preparing its new Statement of Principles (2025), produced this Local Area Profile so that it is available to help both the Licensing Board, applicants and licensees, understand the local area and the related risks. It is important to note that the Gambling Commission recognises that “…risk in this context includes potential and actual risks, thereby taking into account possible future emerging risks, rather than reflecting current risks only”.2 3. In particular, the Licensing Board expects applicants and licensees to have regard to the Local Area Profile when assessing the local area further to the requirements of the Gambling Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice, including when preparing risk assessments.3 It should be noted that applicants and licensees should carry out risk assessments for: new premises licence applications, premises situated in an area where significant changes occur, premises where significant changes occur and where there is a variation of the premises licence. 4. This Local Area Profile includes:- 1 Gambling Commission, Guidance to Local Authorities, paragraph 6.47, https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/guidance/guidance-to-licensing-authorities/part-6-local-area-profile 2 Gambling Commission, Guidance to Local Authorities, paragraph 6.48, https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/guidance/guidance-to-licensing-authorities/part-6-local-area-profile 3 https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/lccp
