Page 6

Having heard the Depute Clerk to the Licensing Board in further detail of the
application, Members of the Board then heard from Mr Niall Hassard, Solicitor and
representative for the application, who detailed what the variation would increase the
floor space of the premises dedicated to the sale of groceries and that the increase
in the alcohol display was commensurate with that increase. Mr Hassard noted it
would be a more premium price and range of alcohol which would be sold, alongside
more fresh produce and a Subway counter for hot food takeaway. 
In answer to Members questions, Mr Hassard noted there were no current plans to
offer Home Delivery from the premises, other than Subway which will deliver under
third party organisations such as Just Eat and Uber Eats etc. Mr Hassard, and the
applicant Mr MacBean, both agreed if the application were to be granted, they would
agree to a condition requiring a written policy regarding Home Delivery to be agreed
with the Licensing Standards Officers at West Dunbartonshire Council.  
Members of the Board agreed to grant the application with the operating plan being
modified to incorporate reference to home deliveries of alcohol as well as the
additional condition: “Home deliveries of alcohol will be carried out in accordance
with a written policy agreed between the licence holder and the Licensing Standards
Officers.

requires the Board’s Policy Statement to include a statement detailing the
extent to which the Licensing Board considers there to be overprovision of (a)
licensed premises; or (b) licensed premises of a particular description, in any
locality within the Board’s area (“Assessment of Overprovision”). 
3.3 In order to stand up to scrutiny, the Licensing Board’s Assessment of
Overprovision must be evidence based. When considering any evidence, the
Board must have due regard to the five licensing objectives: preventing crime
and disorder; securing public safety; preventing public nuisance; protecting
and improving public health; and protecting children and young persons from
harm.
3.4 The information provided by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and West
Dunbartonshire HSCP relates to the licensing objectives of protecting and
improving public health and protecting children and young persons from harm.
4 Main issues
Information set out in the Overprovision Assessment report
4.1 The wide-ranging report from the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and West
Dunbartonshire HSCP at Appendix A summarises the statistical information
obtained by the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and its partners. The report
provides similar data to that which was provided to the Licensing Board in
2018. This data helpfully draws not only upon current local data but also sets
West Dunbartonshire’s position in a national context. 
4.2 Doctor Daniel Carter, Consultant in Public Health Medicine, will speak to the
report at the meeting.
4.3 The Overprovision Assessment report contains statistical information relating
to the overall position within West Dunbartonshire as well as information that
relates to specified intermediate data zones. 
4.4 This report highlights various statistics that will be of interest to Members and
the information set out here is intended to assist Members with a high level
overview of the report. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensing Board will
consider the report in full when determining its Assessment of Overprovision.
4.5  Points of particular note are:
Page 34

Page 35

• 85% of alcohol is sold in supermarkets and off-sales.
• The rate of alcohol-related hospital admissions in West Dunbartonshire
is higher than the Scottish average.
• In 2021, 40 alcohol specific deaths were recorded in West
Dunbartonshire.  This is the highest number of alcohol specific deaths
in the time period from 2010.  Alcohol specific death rates for West
Dunbartonshire remain higher than for Scotland as a whole.
• Female alcohol specific death rates are rising rapidly whilst the male
rate is in decline and is the lowest since 2002.
• Rates of alcohol related mental health hospital admissions are higher
than the Scottish average and have consistently been higher for the
available time period (2013-2022)
• The highest rates of alcohol ambulance calls are for males in the age
groups 35-44 and 55-64.
• The impact on children and families of non-dependent parental drinking
has been highlighted by research.  Locally, concerns about parental
alcohol abuse continue to be identified at a number of case
conferences for children on the child protection register.
4.6 The Overprovision Assessment report breaks alcohol harm data down by
intermediate data zones. These intermediate data zones are designated areas
used for the dissemination of statistics. There are 18 intermediate zones
within West Dunbartonshire. The population of these areas range from 3,464
to 7,162 persons. Members will be aware that the Licensing Board’s current
Overprovision Assessment makes use of intermediate data zones. 
4.7 The following information presented on an intermediate data zone level is of
particular note:
• Local Alcohol Related Hospital Admissions data shows that only three
intermediate zones of the 18 within West Dunbartonshire are lower
than the national average rate of 61.1 per 10,000 population in
2021/22.
• Local data in relation to Alcohol Specific Deaths in 2019/21 shows that
only seven of the 18 intermediate zones comprising West
Dunbartonshire are lower than the Scottish average of 5.8 deaths per
10,000 population. Further 10 intermediate zones have seen this
indicator increase since the start of the Licensing Board’s current
Statement of Licensing Policy.
• The data for 2021/22 shows that six West Dunbartonshire intermediate
zones had a lower rate of Alcohol Related Mental Health Admissions
than Scotland (12.8 per 10,000 population).
Page 35

Page 36

• The data shows all intermediate zones within West Dunbartonshire
have residents living in the 40% most deprived Scottish Index of
Multiple Deprivation quintiles.
• An analysis of the three main alcohol related health indicators (Alcohol
Related Hospital Admissions, Alcohol Specific Deaths, and Alcohol
Related Mental Health Admissions) has been undertaken by
Intermediate Zone.  All Intermediate Zones have two or more indicators
worse than the Scottish average except for IZ05 (Goldenhill, Parkhall
North, East Kilbowie & Hardgate Central), IZ07 (Duntocher & Cochno),
and IZ09 (Old Kilpatrick).
Community Consultation on Alcohol 2022
4.8 The West Dunbartonshire HSCP carried out a public consultation on alcohol
consumption and purchasing habits between 15 November and 14 December
2022. Members should note that the consultation report details that the
findings presented provide context to other evidence that the Board will
consider. However the number of responses (224) “does not form a
representative sample for the population of West Dunbartonshire…In addition,
the self-selection sampling method may produce basis in findings.”
4.9 The report contains the following findings of particular note:
• 50% of respondents reporting drinking at home, 20% at a pub, bar or
nightclub, 16% report they do not drink alcohol and the remaining 14%
drink at a mix of family homes, restaurants and other venues.
• Over 79% of respondents report purchasing alcohol for consumption off
the premises.
• 52% of respondents travel more than five minutes but less than 15
minutes when purchasing alcohol, 31% report travelling less than five
minutes with 17% reporting that they travel for more than 15 minutes
when purchasing alcohol.
Next steps
4.10 The Licensing Board have received reports detailing further statistical
information received from Police Scotland and other partners as well as the
outcome of a pre-consultation survey with key stakeholders and a report from
the Licensing Forum. Having considered all this information, they will progress
with identifying a locality or localities where they consider there to be
overprovision and thereafter consult with the relevant parties. 
Page 36

Page 37

5 People Implications
5.1 The work involved in gathering evidence and preparing the Policy has
workload implications for the Board during 2023 but this can be
accommodated within existing staffing resources.
6 Financial and Procurement Implications
6.1 The Policy will allow applicants to assess whether there are sufficient
prospects of success should they proceed with an application. Therefore a
clear policy will assist applicants in avoiding unnecessary expenditure on
lodging and legal fees.
6.2 A Policy that is legally unsound or based on erroneous material is more likely
to be legally challenged. Such a challenge, should it be successful, will leave
the Board liable to possibly substantial legal fees. A well-evidenced Policy will
diminish the chances of a successful legal challenge.
7 Risk analysis
7.1 It is a legal requirement to adopt a new Policy. This requires to be done by
November 2023. Failure to do so would result in reputational loss for the
Licensing Board. Furthermore, the lack of a Policy could undermine the
Licensing Board’s ability to scrutinise applications.
8 Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA)
8.1 An EIA will be required for the new Policy.
9 Environmental Sustainability
9.1 The Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005 places a duty on the
Council to identify and assess the environmental consequences of its
proposals.
9.2 Under the provisions of the Local Government in Scotland Act 2003, the
Council has to discharge its duties in a way which contributes to the
achievement of sustainable development. In terms of the Climate Change Act,
the Council has a general duty to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability
and the community, environmental and economic impacts of its actions.
9.3 The information contained within this report has been considered under the
Act. However, no action is required as the Act does not apply to the matters
presented in this report.
Page 37

Page 38

10 Consultation
10.1 The preparation of the Policy will be undertaken in consultation with the Local
Licensing Forum which will involve representatives from different parts of the
trade, community, police, health, young people etc. Community Planning
partners will be involved in preparation of the data and the Forum, Police,
licensed trade and Council will be asked for preliminary views on areas to be
reviewed. Thereafter there will be a full public consultation on either a
proposed Policy or Issues Paper by the middle of 2023.
11 Strategic Assessment
11.1 In terms of the Council's Strategic Priorities, the purpose of licensing is to
make sure our communities are resilient and thriving.

1 Introduction
1.1 Background
With the increase of alcohol related harm in Scotland during the mid 2000s the
Scottish Government co-ordinated a strategic approach to reduce overall alcohol
consumption and harm.  Changing Scotland’s Relationship with Alcohol: A
Framework for Action was published in 2009 and three Parliamentary Acts were
passed.  The approach was evidence based and contained the main strategic
elements advocated by the World Health Organisation’s Global Strategy to Reduce
the Harmful use of Alcohol.
The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 was implemented in September 2009 and
introduced five licensing objectives which should underlie both Licensing Policy
Statements and the decision made on Premises Licence Applications.  These
objectives are:
• Preventing crime and disorder
• Securing public safety
• Preventing public nuisance
• Protecting Children from hard
• Protecting and improving public health
Licensing boards must publish a statement of their licensing policy which must seek
to promote the five licensing objectives.  The Licensing Act, therefore, places a direct
obligation on local licensing boards to consider the protection and improvement of
public health when granting or reviewing licenses.
The policy statement must also include a statement on overprovision of licensed
premises within its area and the licensing board must subsequently pay regard to the
content of the policy statement when making licensing decisions.  
1.2 Strategic Context
The Licensing Board Policy and Overprovision Statement are connected with and
make an important contribution to a number of national and local policies and
strategies.  
At a national level, a number of policies and strategies were introduced in 2018 that
will co-exist with the updated Licensing Policy Statement. The Scottish Government
published Scotland’s top six Public Health Priorities, which highlighted that
substance use, including alcohol, is a major cause of preventable harm nationally.
To address this, Minimum Unit Pricing was introduced in May 2018, followed by the
Alcohol Framework 2018 and Rights, Respect and Recovery later in the year.  Also,
Page 45

Page 46

8
since 2018, it has been a Ministerial Priority to reduce the attractiveness, access and
availability of alcohol.
In addition, the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 details a range of
ways in which local communities can get more involved in the design and delivery of
services in their local areas and the Fairer Scotland Duty places a legal requirement
on public bodies to actively consider and reduce inequalities.  At a local level, the
Licensing Board Policy will impact on locality plans developed to support
implementation of the West Dunbartonshire Plan for Place 2017 – 2027 (Local
Outcome Improvement Plan) as required by the legislation.  The plan places an
emphasis on tackling health inequalities, placing specific duties on Community
Planning Partners to act with a view to reducing inequality of outcomes.
The West Dunbartonshire Council Strategic Plan 2022-2027 also highlights
health inequalities as a key concern and focusses on the following 4 strategic
priorities: strategic priorities:
• Resilient and thriving communities who support each other and take
responsibility for their local area
• A need to protect and enhance our environment in response to climate
change
• A strong, flourishing and sustainable local economy which reflects the
demands of a changing population
• Inclusive and adaptable local government working efficiently and effectively to
improve outcomes for communities
The West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership Strategic Plan
2019-2022 vision is to improve the lives of people in West Dunbartonshire by
delivering actions under the following strategic priorities: 
• Early Interventions
• Access
• Resilience
• Assets
• Inequalities
The West Dunbartonshire Substance Use Prevention Strategy 2018-2027 aims
to prevent, delay or reduce use of substances and reduce related harm. This will be
achieved directly or indirectly using a variety of approaches (policies, programmes
and/or activities). The strategy has specific actions to reduce alcohol availability by
supporting alcohol licensing policy development, including overprovision and its
implementation whilst responding to applications as required.    
The West Dunbartonshire Community Planning Partnership Integrated
Children’s Services Plan 2021 – 2023 strategic priorities to improving outcomes for
West Dunbartonshire’s children and young people include: 
Page 46

Page 47

• Ensuring the wellbeing and safe care of all children and young people
• Improved attainment and achievement for all children and young people
• Ensure all children and young people have a safe and stable home
environment
• Respecting the voices of all children and young people in their life choices
1.3 Purpose
This report collates and presents the current data available in relation to alcohol and
public health.  It has been gathered by and on behalf of NHS Greater Glasgow and
Clyde fulfilling its duty as a statutory consultee to the West Dunbartonshire Licensing
Board.  It provides an overview of the main indicators available presenting a picture
of alcohol related harm in West Dunbartonshire and aims to support the
development an evidence-informed policy.
2 Method of Data Collection
Data and other information on alcohol consumption and impact over the past five
years was identified and collated from a range of local and national sources.  On
occasion data older than five years has been referenced where the content still
provides valuable evidence.  Where data has been affected by the coronavirus
pandemic, this will be highlighted throughout the document.  As different information
sources have different publishing schedules the most up to date information
available at time of writing is provided.  Where available, data is presented for West
Dunbartonshire and where this has not been possible, data for NHSGG&C or
Scotland is provided as a proxy indicator.  In addition, where relevant, latest
research evidence has been included.  A glossary of terms and explanation of data
limitations is provided.

3 West Dunbartonshire Population Profile
Key Finding:
• By 2043, the population of West Dunbartonshire is projected to decrease by
7.4% to 82,537 (from 89,130 in 2018).
• The average age of the population of West Dunbartonshire is projected to
increase as more people are expected to live longer.
3.1 Age
West Dunbartonshire's population 88,340 (June 2020), which accounts for 1.6% of
the Scottish population. In contrast to Scotland as a whole, the population of West
Dunbartonshire has been declining steadily (6% since 2000). This is due to fewer
babies being born each year and more people moving out of the area than moving
in.
Figure 1: Population by age and sex (National Records for Scotland, 2021)
West Dunbartonshire has an ageing population. In terms of overall size, the 45-64
age group was the largest in 2020, with a population of 25,646 (29%).
3.2 Gender
In keeping with the Scottish picture, there are more females (52.2%) than males
(47.8%) living in West Dunbartonshire. The gender split begins to widen with
increasing age from the 25-44 age group onwards.
Page 48

Page 49

11
3.3 Ethnicity
There is a very small minority ethnic population in West Dunbartonshire. In the 2011
Census, the majority of residents (93%) of West Dunbartonshire identified as being
white Scottish, and 1.5% identified as being Asian, Asian Scottish or Asian British, or
‘other ethnicity’. This is lower than Scotland which is 4%. In terms of nationality, an
estimated 3.4% of the local population are non-British, compared to 8% in Scotland.
3.4 Life Expectancy
Life expectancy in West Dunbartonshire is lower than the Scottish average (Female
80.8 years: Male 76.5 years). Female life expectancy at birth is the second lowest in
Scotland at 78.4 years. Similarly, male life expectancy is also the second lowest at
73.4 years (National Records of Scotland, 2022). For both males and females’ life
expectancy is falling.

3.5 Employment
West Dunbartonshire has a slightly lower percentage of the population who are
economically active (74.2%) compared to the Scottish average of (76.1%). 77.4% of
males were economically active during this time period compared to 71.3% of
females. The Scottish equivalent figures were 79.3% for males and 73.1% for
females (Nomis)

3.6 Deprivation
Key Findings:
• West Dunbartonshire has the fourth highest (in Scotland) local share of the
most deprived SIMD (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation) datazones.
• People living in more deprived areas experience greater levels of alcohol
related harm
SIMD 2020 provides an analysis of deprivation across Scotland based on 6,976 data
zone areas across Scotland.  
West Dunbartonshire has 48 data zones in the most deprived 20%.  Compared to
other local authorities in Scotland, West Dunbartonshire contains the fourth highest
local share of the most deprived datazones (below Inverclyde, Glasgow City and
North Ayrshire – see chart on next page) and contains the highest share of the 40%
most deprived datazones (see pink and white area combined).
The association between alcohol and deprivation is complex.  Several studies have
shown that the more deprived an area, the lower the levels of alcohol consumption
(Pollack et al, 2005).  However, a Glasgow University study found that low
socioeconomic status was associated with a greater risk of alcohol-attributable
harms such as mortality or illness due to alcohol consumption (Vittal et al 2017).  
Local data shows there are over four times as many hospital admissions and more
than double the rate of alcohol specific deaths, when comparing those living in the
most deprived areas of Scotland to those living in the least deprived areas
(ScotPHO, 2022).

West Dunbartonshire has the fourth greatest local share of the most deprived
datazones in Scotland.  Additionally, West Dunbartonshire has the highest
percentage of individuals residing in the 40% most deprived datazones.

4 Current Trends in Alcohol Consumption
Key Findings:
• Accurate alcohol consumption data is difficult to obtain.  Self-reported
survey data usually obtains lower estimates than sales data.  The best
indicator for alcohol consumption in West Dunbartonshire is from the
Scottish Health Survey 2021.
• Harmful drinking (defined as consuming more than 14 units per week) in
West Dunbartonshire (20%) is lower than NHSGG&C (23%) and
Scotland (24%).
• The mean number of units per week among drinkers in West
Dunbartonshire is 11.2 with male drinker’s consumption considerably
higher at 14.1 units compared to 8.6 units for females.
• 85% of alcohol is sold in supermarkets and off-sales.
4.1 Adults
The consumption of alcohol is recognised as a major issue in Scotland, carrying a
risk of physical and mental health problems, as well as potential negative social
consequences.  People who consume large quantities of alcohol have increased
risks of high blood pressure, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, pancreatitis, some
cancers, mental ill-health and accidents.  The current Chief Medical Officers’
guidelines to keep health risks from drinking alcohol to a low level are 14 units per
week for both men and women.  They recommend spreading the units over three or
more days and having drink free days, as heavy drinking sessions can increase your
risk of death and long term illnesses and accidents and injuries (Department of
Health, 2016).
Self-reported alcohol consumption data is problematic.  Surveys usually obtain lower
consumption estimates than those implied by alcohol sales data (Health Scotland,
2011).  This can largely be explained by participants' under-reporting of
consumption, due in part to not accounting for atypical / special occasion drinking. 
There is also some evidence that survey non-responders are more likely than
responders to engage in risky health behaviours, including hazardous alcohol use
(Cheung et al, 2017).  In spite of this surveys do provide an indication about the
social patterning of individuals' alcohol consumption. 
Furthermore, accurate consumption data for West Dunbartonshire is difficult to
obtain.  A number of sources have been reviewed.  It is difficult to make comparisons
Page 52

Page 53

due the differences in questions used.  It is also difficult to assess drinking levels in
relation to the national guidelines as the questions and analysis do not always reflect
the 2016 changes (from 21 units for men prior to 2016, to 14 units for both men and
women from 2016 onwards).
Scottish Health Survey 
The best indicator for alcohol consumption in West Dunbartonshire is from the
Scottish Health Survey 2021 (combined 2017 - 2021).   Harmful drinking (defined as
consuming more than 14 units per week) in West Dunbartonshire (20%) is lower
than NHSGG&C (23%) and Scotland (24%).  The mean number of units per week
among drinkers in West Dunbartonshire is 11.2 with male drinker’s consumption
considerably higher at 14.1 units compared to 8.6 units for females. 
Figure 4: Weekly Alcohol Consumption by SIMD quintile
Source: Scottish Health Survey, Scottish Government
In Scotland, levels of harmful/hazardous drinking (defined as 14 units and over per
week) increase with higher household income.  There is a slight decrease in SIMD 2
areas however this rises again in the most deprived areas (SIMD 1) (Fig 4).

The graph above shows nationally, since 2008 until 2021 males have consistently
consumed more mean weekly units than females.  Female consumption has been
relatively static throughout the time period whilst male consumption has fallen overall
(from a mean of 20 units in 2008, to 14.8 units in 2021).

In Scotland, 45 to 74 year olds consume the most mean weekly units.

Figure 7: Alcohol consumption (hazardous/harmful), Scotland

Similar to alcohol consumption by mean weekly units, the graph above shows that
nationally, males are more likely than females to consume alcohol at
hazardous/harmful levels.
Figure 8: Alcohol consumption (hazardous/harmful) by SIMD, Scotland
Source: Scottish Health Survey, Scottish Government
Nationally there are higher levels of reported hazardous/harmful drinking among
those living in the least deprived quintiles, this is consistent over the available time
period (2008-2021).  However, Katikireddi et al (2017) highlighted disadvantaged
social groups have greater alcohol-attributable harms compared with individuals from
advantaged areas even with equal levels of alcohol consumption and after
Page 55

accounting for different drinking patterns, obesity, and smoking status at the
individual level.  This observation is also known as the Alcohol Harm Paradox
(Bloomfield, K 2020).
4.1.1 Alcohol Sales
Figure 9: Off-trade/On-Trade Sales – litres per adult, Scotland v England & Wales
Source: Monitoring and Evaluating Scotland's Alcohol Strategy (MESAS), Public
Health Scotland(2022)
Scotland has consistently had greater pure alcohol volume sold in the off-trade than
England & Wales.  In the on-trade, the pure alcohol volume sold is the same in
Scotland as it is for England & Wales, and it has consistently been the same since
2005.
Alcohol Sales and Harm in Scotland During the Coronavirus Pandemic
• Alcohol sales indicate that population-level consumption was above
recommended levels. Between the start of COVID-19 restrictions in March 2020
and May 2021, 17 units (171 ml) of pure alcohol have been sold per adult each
week on average, 16 (162 ml) of which have been from off-trade premises. This
represents enough alcohol to put every adult in Scotland over the Chief Medical
Officer’s low-risk weekly drinking guideline
• Alcohol-related hospital stays were 7.3% (95% CI: 5.9% to 8.6%) lower in 2020
than the 2017–19 average.
• Rates of alcohol-related hospital stays decreased most for males, those aged
over 45 years, and those living in deprivation quintiles 1 (most deprived), 2 and 4.
In general, these groups had the highest rates of alcohol-related stays in 2017–
19.

• Alcohol-specific deaths increased following the start of the pandemic. This was
driven primarily by an increase in alcohol-specific death rates among males and
those aged 45 to 64 years.
• Increased rates of alcohol specific death for some groups may support existing
evidence that drinking at hazardous and harmful levels may have increased for
some groups, despite consumption reducing at the population level.
• Of concern is the potential that groups with high levels of alcohol consumption
before the pandemic may have increased their alcohol consumption, had reduced
access to hospital treatment for alcohol related conditions, and potentially
experienced higher rates of mortality as a consequence.
4.1.2  Minimum Unit Price
Minimum unit pricing for alcohol (MUP) was implemented in May 2018 at a rate of
50p per unit.  The policy is subject to a sunset clause, which means it will lapse
unless renewed by the Scottish Parliament by end of April 2024.  
A recent Public Health Scotland Evaluation (2023) of MUP shows:
• 13% significant reduction in deaths (averted ~156 deaths per year)
• 4% reduction in hospitalisations (averted ~411 hospitalisations per year),
although this finding was not statistically significant
• Greatest reductions in deaths and hospitalisations were for males and those
residing in 40% most deprived areas
This evidence indicates minimum pricing remains an essential component of
Scotland’s alcohol strategy to reduce our high levels of alcohol consumption and
harm.  However, as highlighted in section 12 of this paper, alcohol harm continues to
be higher in West Dunbartonshire than Scotland as a whole and has increased in
some intermediate zones since the introduction of MUP.

4.2 Young People
4.2.1 Planet Youth in Scotland
West Dunbartonshire is one of five pilot sites across Scotland as part of ‘Planet
Youth in Scotland’ (Icelandic Prevention Model).  In West Dunbartonshire the pilot is
led by WDC Education Services in collaboration with the Health Improvement Team
and sits within the Substance Use Prevention Strategy Delivery Plan: Action Area 2
Healthier and Safer Environments.
The Planet Youth survey was completed during class time under exam conditions in
October 2021 by S3 pupils in a West Dunbartonshire Secondary School
A summary of results that may be of interest to the Licensing Board is given below:
Alcohol Use – S3
• 61% have drank alcohol in their lifetime
• 25% have drank alcohol in the last 30 days
• 31% have been drunk in their lifetime
• 10% have been drunk in the last 30 days
• Average age of trying alcohol for the first time is 12.3 years
Location of Alcohol Consumption – S3
• 18% drink alcohol in their own home
• 17% drink alcohol at a party or other organised event
• 13% drink alcohol in the home of others
• 12% drink alcohol outdoors
Accessing Alcohol – S3
• 15% get alcohol from a family member
• 13% get alcohol from another adult
• 3% buy alcohol in a shop
• 1% take alcohol from a store without paying
• 1% get alcohol delivered

4.2.2 Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey (SALSUS)
SALSUS is a series of publications which provided data on a range of health
indicators for S2 (13 year olds) and S4 (15 year olds) pupils across Scotland.  Data
was gathered by self-completion survey which was completed under exam
conditions in class time. The most recent and final publication in the series, for West
Dunbartonshire is from 2018.  
Figure 10: WD Pupils - Ever drank alcohol
SALSUS 2018 shows there was an increase in underage drinking (15-year-olds; red
ring) in West Dunbartonshire since the last data point in 2013.  However, there was a
decrease overall since the first data published in 2006. 
Figure 11: WD Pupils - Ever Drunk
More 13- and 15-year-olds reported having ever been drunk in 2018 than in the 2013
survey.

Figure 12: WD Pupils - Drunk 10 Times +
The above shows there was an increase in pupils reporting having been drunk more
than ten times since the last data point in 2013.  However, this has decreased overall
since the question was first asked in 2010.
Figure 13: WD Pupils - Purchased Alcohol
SALSUS 2018 West Dunbartonshire reports that the majority of pupils, 13 and 15
years of age (90% and 87%, respectively) have never tried to purchase alcohol from
a shop, supermarket or off licence.  However, as seen above (red ring) 10% of 15-
year-olds successfully managed to purchase alcohol.

5 Alcohol Related Hospital Admissions
Key Finding:
• The rate of alcohol-related hospital admissions in West Dunbartonshire is
consistently higher than the Scottish average.
Figure 14: Alcohol Related Hospital Admissions – West Dunbartonshire v Scotland
Source: Scottish Public Health Observatory Profile Tool
Since 2002/3 the rate of alcohol related hospital admissions (ARHA) in West
Dunbartonshire has consistently remained higher than the national rate.  Data points
over the past ten years show that the gap between local and national rates is
increasing.  Whilst the Scottish rate is in slow decline, the West Dunbartonshire rate
is rising overall.  The latest data points for WD does show a fall in ARHA but this is
likely due to the covid 19 pandemic.
Page 61

Figure 15: Alcohol Related Hospital Admissions, young people (11-25 years)

National and local alcohol related hospital admissions for young people have fallen
overall since 2007-10.  In West Dunbartonshire the rate began to rise again from
2013-16.  The latest data points show a fall in admissions, which could be
attributable to the coronavirus pandemic where public messaging asked people to
avoid hospitals, if possible.
Page 62

Page 63

Figure 16: Alcohol Related Hospital Admissions crude rate by age – West Dunbartonshire, NHSGGC and Scotland

In West Dunbartonshire, 45-64 year olds have the highest ARHA crude rate followed by 25-44 and 65-74 year olds.  The crude rate for these age groups is
higher than is observed in NHSGGC and Scotland

Residents in the most deprived quintile (1500.4 per 100,000 population) and second most deprived quintile (1371.5 per 100,000
population) account for a significant proportion of admissions.  The Alcohol Harm Paradox tells us that people living in more
deprived areas experience greater alcohol related harm than those in more affluent areas even if the consumption patterns are the
same.

In 2021/22, 66% of alcohol related hospital admissions could have potentially been avoided if inequalities were more effectively
addressed and the level of alcohol related harm experienced by the least deprived was shared across the population.

6 Alcohol Specific Deaths
Key Findings:
• In 2021, 40 alcohol related deaths were recorded in West Dunbartonshire.
• From 2010, numbers of deaths relating to alcohol slowly decreased, with the
latest data point in 2021 showing the highest number of deaths in the time
period.
• The West Dunbartonshire rate has consistently been higher than Scotland as a
whole.  Despite an overall fall from 2002-2006 data, the latest data shows the
local death rate is rising overall, for both males and females.
Figure 19: Number of Alcohol Specific Deaths in West Dunbartonshire
Source: Alcohol Specific Deaths, National Records of Scotland
In West Dunbartonshire from 2017-21, there have been 140 alcohol specific deaths.
Since 2010 the number of deaths relating to alcohol slowly decreased to a low of 18
in 2019 but has risen sharply with the most recent data point (n=40 in 2021).  
Page 66

Although there has been a fall in the number of alcohol specific deaths overall, rates
for West Dunbartonshire remain higher than for Scotland as a whole with the latest
data point showing the date rate is rising.
Figure 21: Alcohol Specific Deaths, Females – West Dunbartonshire v Scotland

The female alcohol specific death rate in West Dunbartonshire has been consistently
higher than the national rate.  Despite a narrowing of the gap between local and
national rates in 2011-2015, locally the rate is rising whilst the national rate has
remained relatively static.
Figure 22: Alcohol Specific Deaths, Males – West Dunbartonshire v Scotland
Source: Scottish Public Health Observatory Profile Tool
Similar to females, the male alcohol specific death rate in West Dunbartonshire has
been consistently higher than the national rate.  The male rate steadily declined to
the lowest rate in the time period shown in the above graph (2016-2020).  However,
the latest data point shows the male death rate is rising again.
Page 68

Figure 23: Alcohol Specific Death Rates by Age – Changes over time (Scotland)

Nationally age band rates for alcohol specific deaths naturally fluctuate within each
age bracket.  However, age 45-64 and 65-74 have consistently been the most
common ages for an alcohol specific death.  In more recent years (2012 onwards)
there has been a noticeable rise in the over 75s dying of alcohol specific causes.

Figure 26: Profile of an Alcohol Related Death 
Profile of an Alcohol Related Death
An individual who will die of an alcohol related death will most likely be:
• a white Scottish male between the ages of 45 – 54 years.
• single or divorced
• living in his own home (council rented accommodation), alone, in one of the most deprived
areas.
• may have adult children but it is unlikely that he will be in contact with them.
• unemployed at the time of death and in the years leading to it, but he will have previously
worked within a skilled industry and may have lost his job as a result of his alcohol use.
It is likely that:
• he will have had his first drink at around 13/14 years of age
• developed a problem with drinking alcohol before he reaches the age of 25 years.
• will be a dependent drinker, drinking alcohol daily consuming on average 233 units of
alcohol weekly.  This equates to 9 bottles of vodka per week.
He will have experienced acute withdrawal symptoms and attended emergency services as a
result. His GP will most likely be aware that he has had a long standing alcohol problem and he
will carry the physical biomarkers of this, such as abnormal liver function tests, low platelet levels
and elevated mean cell volume. He will most likely have been prescribed thiamine and
omeprazole by his GP.
He will have Alcoholic Liver Disease and will have been referred for acute outpatient
appointments with Gastroenterology. He will have had on average 8 acute inpatient episodes, a
result of emergency admissions, probably within a general medical ward. He will have received
treatment for his alcoholic liver disease and acute withdrawal symptoms and he may have been
in contact with the acute addiction liaison service during one of these admissions.
He will have had contact, at some point in his drinking career, with an alcohol treatment service
(including pre Community Addiction Team services). He will have been in contact with a
psychiatric service, most likely a non addiction specific psychiatric service and will have received
medication to reduce or stop alcohol withdrawal without any formal support.
He may have attended a community addiction team and he will have also attended a
community/voluntary alcohol service. It is more than likely that he has defaulted from these
services. He will be socially isolated with a lack of a social network and will most probably have
a close relation with an alcohol problem. 
He will also be experiencing some financial problems and housing issues as a result of his alcohol
use and although likely to have been in contact with police, he is unlikely to have been charged
or taken into custody.
He will most likely die in hospital of an alcohol related liver condition.

7 Alcohol Related Mental Health
Key Finding:
• West Dunbartonshire rates of alcohol related mental health hospital admissions
are higher than the Scottish average and have consistently been higher for the
available time period.
Figure 27: West Dunbartonshire, NHSGGC & Scotland Alcohol Related Mental
Health Admissions 
Source: LIST Analyst Data, provided upon request
The above chart presents rates of alcohol related mental health admissions within
West Dunbartonshire, NHSGG&C and Scotland.  Since 2013/14 West
Dunbartonshire has had higher rates than Scotland.  Scotland’s alcohol mental
health admissions have been decreasing overall while West Dunbartonshire’s have
been rising since 2016.  The decline in admissions in West Dunbartonshire for the
last data point, is likely due to covid restrictions and public messaging to avoid
hospitals, if possible.

8 Scottish Ambulance Service – Alcohol Calls
Key Finding:
• The highest rates of alcohol ambulance calls are for males in the age groups
35-44 and 55-64.
When an ambulance is called out to an emergency the paramedic will record the
reason.  This method of data collect has limitations as it is reliant on the responder
logging the call as alcohol related.  In 2016 the way the data was recorded was
changed, which led to only 25% of calls being recorded and as a result this data can
be taken as an indication only and not reflective of alcohol related ambulance calls
overall.  Data is collected by the postcode the call came from so may not be
reflective of the whole population of West Dunbartonshire i.e., calls made by a
person living in West Dunbartonshire from a Glasgow postcode will not be counted.
Males have the highest rate of alcohol ambulance calls in the age groups 35-44 and
55-64.

9 Impact on Children and Families
Key Findings:
• The negative impacts on children and families of non-dependent parental
drinking are evidenced by research.  Locally, concerns about parental
alcohol use continue to be identified at a number of case conferences for
children on the child protection register.
9.1 Children & Families Affected by Parental Drinking (Non-
Dependent) 
Research ‘Like Sugar for Adults’ (Foster et al., 2017) has highlighted a direct link
between non-dependent parental drinking habits and the attitudes, behaviours and
impacts reported by their children.  The mixed methods study found that factors
which affect children in regards to alcohol are:
• Peer influence, the media, alcohol marketing, price of alcohol all lower
parental influence on a child’s attitudes towards alcohol
• Majority of parents conscious their drinking sets an example to their children
• Parents discussing their own negative experiences of alcohol may normalise
excessive drinking behaviours for their children
• Children do not differentiate between seeing their parents tipsy or drunk
• Impacts on children can begin from relatively low levels of alcohol
consumption
• There is a clear gradient between negative impacts on children and increasing
parental alcohol consumption
More recent research (Bryant et al, 2019) has shown a significant association
between parental alcohol consumption and children reporting negative outcomes. 
The age of the child also had an association where younger children were more
likely to report negative impacts.  Significantly associated negative impacts reported
by children are:
• Put to bed earlier than usual
• Spend less time doing homework
• Put to bed later than usual
• Given less attention than usual
Page 75

9.2 Alcohol in Childhood
Children’s Parliament
In 2019 the Children’s Parliament published a report on an Alcohol-Free Childhood where
the views of children aged 9-11 were expressed in relation to alcohol.  The report highlighted
that children feel alcohol ‘is all around you, all the time’ and that ‘most children don’t like
being around alcohol’.   The majority of the concerns were in relation to the visibility of
alcohol and child safety when adults consume alcohol.  Below is a summary of quotes within
the report that relate to the wider availability of alcohol of which licensing has a role.
• “Where do we see alcohol? Everywhere!”
• “…there are four rows of alcohol in Asda”
• “People want to get as much as possible, so they go to the shop to get it before it
closes”
• “…when you go to the till, you pass the big alcohol bit”
• “…children might feel unsafe if they see people drunk”
• “It sometimes makes people feel left out at parties when everyone is drinking.
Children can feel sad, ignored and not listened to”
• “I was at a wedding and by the time it was 3pm, everyone was so drunk. Me and my
brother were bored”
• “...pubs are open when I walk to school”
The children were asked ‘What do we need to do for children to have an alcohol-free
childhood?.’  Suggestions that are related to licensing include:
1. Stop people drinking in public places
2. Make alcohol less visible in shops
Page 76

Page 77

39
9.3 Child Protection
Parental substance use can involve alcohol and/or drug use which creates risks to
and impacts on children.  It can also result in sustained abuse, neglect,
maltreatment, behavioural problems, disruption in primary care-giving, social
isolation and stigma of children (Scottish Government, 2021).  Categories of
concerns are recorded at case conferences which can then lead to inclusion on the
child protection register.  Multiple concerns can be recorded at each case
conference.
Figure 29: Concerns identified at the case conferences of children who were on the
child protection register, 2020-21 (Scotland)

Nationally in 2020-21, parental substance use was the fourth most frequent concern
identified at case conferences of children on the child protection register.

Since 2016 West Dunbartonshire has had a higher rate of Child Protection cases
where parental alcohol use has been cited.  The fall in 2020 and 2021 could be
attributable to the pandemic.
Figure 31: Domestic Abuse by Council Area 2021/22

West Dunbartonshire has the second worst domestic abuse rate of all local authorities in
Scotland.  Domestic abuse and alcohol frequently co-exist.  Locally there has been 223
domestic related common assaults since April 2022 (year to date), 53% of these (n=118)
were committed when the offender and/or the victim were under the influence of alcohol
(Police Scotland, 2023).  These figures have been consistent over the previous five-year
period.

10 Economic Impact
Key Finding:
• Up to date estimations of the economic impact of alcohol are not available
at a local level or national level.
• The most recent estimate from 2011, estimates £40.65 million is the total
cost of alcohol related harm in West Dunbartonshire.  It is anticipated this
cost is now far greater in 2023.
An updated estimate of the economic impact of alcohol nationally or in West
Dunbartonshire is not currently available.  As reported in the 2013 overprovision
evidence submission, in 2010 the Scottish government produced The Societal Cost
of Alcohol Misuse in Scotland for 2007 which estimated a central cost of £3.6 billon.
This was applied to local data to provide estimates of the cost of alcohol-related
harm at a local authority area level (Alcohol Focus Scotland, 2011).  In West
Dunbartonshire it is estimated that the total cost of alcohol related harm is £40.65
million as follows: 
• Crime £15.53 million
• Productive Capacity £13.10 million
• Health £6.60 million
• Social Care £5.42 million
A more recent analysis (Bhattacharya, 2017) highlights the continued impact of
alcohol on the UK economy as a result of presenteeism, absenteeism,
unemployment and premature death.  In addition, the report recognises that the
alcohol industry plays a small but not insignificant part of the UK economy through
production and retail.  It goes on to note that on trade jobs are typically part-time and
poorly paid whereas producers provide relatively few jobs that these are better paid. 
West Dunbartonshire is cited as being one of only seven local authorities in the UK
where alcohol producers account for more than 1% of jobs.  It should be noted that
evidence has shown there is no systemic relationship between an area’s prosperity
and its dependence on alcohol industry employment.

11 Alcohol and Drug Partnership – Service Data
Dumbarton Area Council on Alcohol (DACA)
DACA is a community alcohol service within West Dunbartonshire that supports
anyone affected by alcohol, whether it is their own drinking or a loved one’s drinking.
The service is free and confidential and includes one to one counselling, group
support, diversionary activities and health and wellness advice.
The table below shows the number of referrals and clients engaging with the service
from 2015/16.  The most recent data in 2020/21 has likely been affected by the
coronavirus pandemic.

12 Alcohol Related Harm Data by Intermediate Zone
Key Findings:
• The 2011 Intermediate Zones have not changed in size significantly in the last
2 years. The population sizes range from an estimated 3,464 for IZ05 to 7,162
for IZ12.
• All Intermediate Zones have residents living in SIMD 1 and 2 areas.
• An analysis of the three main alcohol related health indicators has been
undertaken by Intermediate Zone. Fifteen Intermediate Zones have two or
more indicators worse than the Scottish average (IZ01, IZ02, IZ03, IZ04, IZ06,
IZ08, IZ10, IZ11, IZ12 IZ13, IZ14, IZ15, IZ16, IZ17 and IZ18).
• Three Intermediate Zones have less than two indicators worse than the
Scottish average (IZ05, IZ07 and IZ09).
The Alcohol Framework 2018 acknowledges that Scotland as a whole has a problem
with alcohol use and our communities, including families, pay too high a price in
regards to alcohol harms and the preventable deaths it causes. For this reason, it is
recommended to use the Scottish average as the threshold for each alcohol related
harm indicator. The Alcohol Framework also highlights that more needs to be done
to protect children and young people and to address health inequalities. With this in
mind, the local alcohol harm related indicators that will be presented as evidence to
inform the new licensing overprovision policy and used thereafter when reviewing
licensing applications, will be:
• Alcohol Related Hospital Admissions: higher than the Scottish average
• Alcohol Specific Deaths: higher than the Scottish average
• Alcohol Related Mental Health Admissions: higher than the Scottish average
• Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD): a higher proportion of the
population live in SIMD quintile 1 (most deprived) and 2 (second most
deprived) data zone areas than is the case in Scotland as a whole.
Previously, Alcohol Related Brain Damage (ARBD) would have been available.
Whilst we know in some areas significant harms occur as a result of ARBD, due to
issues with local reporting it is no longer possible to present this data.
The following analysis shows the alcohol harms data by intermediate zone.
Intermediate zones are a statistical geography that sit between data zones and
Dunbartonshire (listed on table 34). The population within each intermediate zone
ranges from 3,464 (IZ05) to 7,162 (IZ12).
Alcohol-related hospital admissions data from ScotPHO show that only three
intermediate zones of the eighteen within West Dunbartonshire are lower than the
Page 81

national average rate of 61.1 per 10,000 population in 2021/22. These are: IZ05
(60.5), IZ10 (59.0) and IZ11 (38.9).  Furthermore, when comparing this indicator to
data available at the start of the current policy, the following intermediate zones have
increased over time: IZ01, IZ03, IZ07, IZ09, IZ10, IZ12, IZ16 and IZ17.
Similarly, local data (from Public Health Scotland’s Local Intelligence Support Team -
LIST) on the rate of alcohol specific deaths in 2019-20211 shows that seven
intermediate zones are lower than the Scottish average of 5.8 deaths per 10,000
population. These are: IZ04 (4.5), IZ05 (5.7), IZ07 (0), IZ09 (4.2), IZ15 (1.7), IZ17
(3.4) and IZ18 (2.3).  Furthermore, when comparing this indicator to data available at
the start of the current policy, the following intermediate zones have increased over
time: IZ01, IZ02, IZ04, IZ05, IZ06, IZ08, IZ11, IZ12, IZ14 and IZ16.
The third alcohol related harm indicator analysed by intermediate zone is the rate of
alcohol-related mental health admissions. LIST data for 2019-2021 show that six
West Dunbartonshire intermediate zones have a lower rate than Scotland (12.8 per
10,000 population). These are: IZ03 (5.5), IZ05 (5.7), IZ06 (9.8), IZ07 (4.6), IZ09
(6.2) and IZ12 (10.0).  Furthermore, when comparing this indicator to data available
at the start of the current policy, the following intermediate zones have increased
over time: IZ01, IZ02, IZ04, IZ10, IZ11, IZ12, IZ13, IZ14, IZ15 and IZ16.
In addition to the alcohol harm indicators, Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation
(SIMD) data has also been presented. Figure 33 identifies the number of individual
data zones within each intermediate zone by SIMD quintile. The data shows all
intermediate zones within West Dunbartonshire have residents living in the 40%
most deprived SIMD quintiles (SIMD 1 and 2), and all but four of the intermediate
zones have a higher proportion of their population living in the 40% most deprived
quintiles than does Scotland as a whole.
The table below (fig 34) provides a summary of the three alcohol harm indicators and
SIMD for each intermediate zone. All indicators that are above the Scottish average
have been highlighted in yellow for each alcohol harm. Additionally, each
intermediate zone where the percentage of residents living in the 40% most deprived
SIMD quintiles is higher than it is for Scotland as a whole have been highlighted in
blue.
The table shows that the intermediate zones that have two or more indicators worse
than the Scottish average are IZ01, IZ02, IZ03, IZ04, IZ06, IZ08, IZ10, IZ11, IZ12
IZ13, IZ14, IZ15, IZ16, IZ17 and IZ18.
1 Whereas it is possible to present data on alcohol-related admissions for a single year, for alcohol-specific
deaths this is not possible since the number of deaths is smaller and so the data are aggregated into three-year
periods. Furthermore, it takes longer to collate data on cause of death, and so the most recent data available
on alcohol-specific deaths is up to 2021.

Council Areas. Intermediate zones are often used for the dissemination of statistics
that are not suitable for release at the data zone level because of the sensitive
nature of the statistic, or for reasons of reliability. There are eighteen intermediate
zones in West Dunbartonshire.
All but two of the areas with two or more indicators above the Scottish average (IZ10
and IZ12) have a higher proportion of their population living in data zones in quintiles
1 and 2 (the 40% most deprived data zones) than does Scotland as a whole.
Conversely, only one of the three areas with less than two indicators above the
Scottish average (IZ07) has a higher proportion of its population living in quintile 1
and 2 data zones than does Scotland as a whole.

14 Glossary and Technical Notes
14.1 Glossary
SMR01/ SMR04/
Combined
These statistics are derived from data collected on alcohol-related inpatient and day case activity taking place
within general acute hospitals and psychiatric hospitals in Scotland, submitted to ISD as part of the Scottish
Morbidity Record 01 (SMR01) and Scottish Morbidity Record 04 (SMR04) data sets.
SMR01 – General acute hospital discharges
SMR04 – Psychiatric hospital discharge
Combined – SMR01 and SMR04
EASR This publication includes rates of activity presented as European Age-sex Standardised Rates (EASR).
Comparisons of rates that have not been standardised can be misleading when the age structures of populations
differ between geographical areas or where they have changed over time. For example alcohol-related hospital
admissions are more common in males and older people. Adjustment for age and sex using the EASR prevents
misleading comparisons between areas that may have populations with different age or gender structures.
Stays For this report, a hospital stay (also described as a continuous inpatient stay or CIS), is defined as an unbroken
period of time that a patient spends as an inpatient or day-case. During a stay a patient may have numerous
episodes as they change consultant, significant facility, speciality and/or hospital. Stays are counted at the point of
discharge, when all diagnostic information regarding the full stay is available. Therefore a ‘stay’ and a ‘discharge’
are equivalent in this report. However, the demographic information (age, gender, SIMD decile, NHS Board or local
authority of residence) is taken from the first episode of the stay, thus most closely corresponding to the
circumstances of the patient at the point of entering the hospital.
Patients Where numbers of patients are reported, this refers to the number of unique individuals treated within the financial
year. Patients are counted only once in the financial year in which they have an alcohol-related stay, even though
the same patient may be admitted to hospital several times in a year.
New patients New patients are defined as patients who have not been previously admitted to hospital with an alcohol diagnosis
within the last 10 years. If a patient has several alcohol-related stays over a number of years, this patient will be
counted only in the year of the first alcohol-related hospital stay within a 10 year period.

Alcohol-related
diagnoses and
clinical codes
(ICD9/ICD10)
Alcohol misuse is recorded using the International Classification of Diseases. In 1996, ISD moved from using the
9th revision to the 10th revision of the ICD. The change introduced a number of new alcohol-related ICD codes.
However, mapping of codes from ICD9 to ICD10 is not exact and therefore the longer trends (back to 1981/82) are
only used for reporting on ‘all’ alcohol codes combined, and time trends for individual alcohol-related conditions
start in 1997/98. Up to six diagnoses can be recorded within each episode within a stay. Analysis is based on all
diagnoses in any position from any episode within the patient’s stay. Note that where alcohol misuse is suspected
but unconfirmed it may not be recorded by the hospital and hence recording may vary between hospitals; therefore
caution is necessary when interpreting these figures. Codes can be seen below.
Age Age is taken at the date of admission for hospital discharge data.
Totals Patients may reside in more than one NHS Board or local authority within the same year.  Therefore the totals for
smaller areas may not add up to the total for Scotland.
Disclosure * Indicates values that have been suppressed due to the potential risk of disclosure and to help maintain patient
confidentiality.
Scottish Index of
Multiple Deprivation
(SIMD)
The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) ranking can be used to divide the Scottish population into ten
groups (deciles). Each decile represents the same number of people, those living in areas in decile 1 live in the
most deprived areas of Scotland and those in decile 10 live in the least deprived areas in Scotland. There have
been SIMD releases in 2004, 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2016.
The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2016 combines 38 indicators across 7 domains, namely: income,
employment, health, education, skills and training, housing, geographic access and crime.
The overall index is a weighted sum of the seven domain scores. The weighting for each domain is based on the
relative importance of the domain in measuring multiple deprivation, the robustness of the data and the time lag
between data collection and the production of the SIMD.
Prior to weighting, the domains are standardised by ranking the scores. The ranks then undergo a statistical
transformation to avoid high ranks in one domain 'cancelling out' low ranks in another. The domain weightings used
in SIMD 2016, expressed as a % of the overall weight are: current income (28%), employment (28%), health (14%),
education (14%), geographic access (9%), crime (5%) and housing (2%).
SIMD can then be mapped to show the geographical variation and spread of deprived (and non-deprived)
communities across Scotland.  See www.SIMD.scot
5 year moving
average
A moving average is a technique to get an overall idea of the trends in a data set; it is an average of any subset of
numbers. The moving average is extremely useful for forecasting long-term trends. You can calculate it for any
period of time. An average represents the “middling” value of a set of numbers. The average is calculated several
times for several subsets of data
Page 94

Page 95

57
Age Standardised A technique used to allow populations to be compared when the age profiles of the populations are quite different.
Confidence interval
(CI)
A confidence interval provides an estimated range of possible outcomes of the measurement, which gives us some
idea of how uncertain we are about the measurement.  A 95% confidence interval implies that if we were to repeat
the same measurement many times, 95% of values would fall within the defined range. It follows that there is a 5%
chance that the true value will fall outside the defined range.
Data zones The data zone is the key small-area statistical geography in Scotland. The data zone geography covers the whole
of Scotland and nests within local authority boundaries. Data zones are groups of Census output areas and have
populations of between 500 and 1,000 household residents. Where possible, they have been made to respect
physical boundaries and natural communities. They have a regular shape and, as far as possible, contain
households with similar social characteristics.
Following the 2011 census, Data Zones were redrawn and are known as Data Zone 2011.
Intermediate data
zones
The intermediate zones are aggregations of data zones within local authorities and contain between 2,500 and
6,000 people Not all statistics are suitable for release at the data zone level because of the sensitive nature of the
statistics, or for reasons of reliability, and it was apparent that a statistical geography between data zone and local
authority was required. For the purpose of this report intermediate data zone is used as the larger population
permits a relatively precise but more stable base for monitoring trends
The Licensing Board Statement of Licensing Policy November 2013 used Intermediate Zone 2001 boundaries to
determine 18 sub-localities within West Dunbartonshire.
Following the 2011 census, Intermediate Data Zones were redrawn and are known as Intermediate Zone 2011. 
There remain 18 sub-localities within West Dunbartonshire but the names and numbers are not equivalent.
For the purpose of the 2017 overprovision evidence paper Intermediate Zone 2011 boundaries are used. Thus the
Intermediate Zones are not directly comparable to the previous overprovision evidence.

1. Introduction
This report provides a summary of the results from a public consultation on alcohol
consumption and purchasing habits of West Dunbartonshire residents. The survey
was conducted by West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership
(WDHSCP) as part of an evidence gathering process to inform the development of
West Dunbartonshire Licensing Board Overprovision Policy. 
The question set was based on a survey previously used by other Health and Social
Care Partnerships in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The online survey was 
available for completion online using Webropol from Tuesday 15th November to
Wednesday 14th December 2022.  The Webropol link was accessible via the HSCP
website which was promoted via the West Dunbartonshire Alcohol and Drug
Partnership, Health Improvement Networks, Licensing Forum and West
Dunbartonshire Council social media channels (Facebook, Twitter and Trickle).
A total of 224 respondents completed the survey. This number of responses does not
form a representative sample for the population of West Dunbartonshire. Therefore,
the results are not broken down by locality. In addition, the self-selection sampling
method may produce bias in findings. However, with these caveats, the findings
provide an insight of the opinions of local people and provide context to other
evidence available.
2. Respondent Demographic Profile
Of the total respondents, 63% were female and 35% male with 2% preferring not to
answer. The majority of responses 28% were aged 45-54yrs, 27% were 35-44yrs with
1% 75+yrs. The vast majority of respondents (94%) described themselves as white
Scottish, with 2% declining to answer.
The postcode data recorded by respondents was analysed. As the survey was open
to individuals that lived and worked in West Dunbartonshire a small number 3% (n=6)
who completed the survey were not a resident within the West Dunbartonshire area.
For the purpose of this report the G60 postcodes have been grouped under
Clydebank data (as the majority of G60 codes are classified as Clydebank according
to Scotland’s Official Statistics1website). Just under half of respondents are resident
in a Clydebank area postcode, 27% Dumbarton and 23% Alexandria areas.

3. Alcohol Consumption
All respondents were asked where they primarily consumed alcohol. All 224
respondents completed this information with half of respondents (50%) reporting
drinking at home. Twenty percent stated they drink alcohol at a pub, bar or nightclub. 
Sixteen percent reported they do not drink alcohol with 2% citing other as the main
location for consuming alcohol.

Figure 3 Reason for drinking alcohol at chosen location
Respondents were asked the reasons for choosing their drinking location. 188
completed this question with a total of 370 separate responses given. 
• Nearly three quarters (71%) chose comfort/social/relaxation as their reason for
drinking alcohol in the location given.
• A third (33%) cited consuming alcohol with a meal as the reason and 31% cited
price.
• Nearly a quarter (23%) stated it was for reasons of convenience
• 6% cited other reasons which mostly related to social reasons, drinking with
friends or family or disliking a pub environment.

Alcohol purchasing patterns
Respondents were asked about where they purchased alcohol. Of the 188
respondents, 67% purchased alcohol from a supermarket. 2.7% reported they did not
buy any alcohol. No respondents reported using food delivery services, garages, off
licences or sports clubs to purchase alcohol.
Figure 4 Location of purchasing alcohol
Those that completed the question on purchasing patterns (n=108) were asked to
provide the rationale for buying alcohol from that particular location. A total of 183
responses were provided. 
Page 106

Page 107

• Nearly half (46%) were influenced by the price of the alcohol they were buying.
This differs from the rationale when choosing where to drink.
• 40% chose their location by the range and variety of alcohol on offer.
• 31% bought their alcohol in a location that was convenient to their house.
• 14.2% cited other reasons for buying alcohol at their chosen location which
mostly included socialising.
Figure 5 Reasons for purchasing alcohol
To gain an understanding of the distance travelled to purchase alcohol, questions
were asked about mode of transport used and the average time spent travelling.
• Two thirds (66%) of respondents would use a car/van/motorbike to travel to
make a purchase with nearly a quarter (24%) walking.
• Nearly one third of respondents travel less than 5 minutes to purchase alcohol
with nearly 48% respondents take between 5 minutes and 15 minutes travelling
to buy alcohol. This indicates that over 80% of respondents have a less than 15
Page 107

Page 108

minute travel time to purchase.

11. Availability of Alcohol
The consultation asked participants their views on the number of premises that
currently sell alcohol in West Dunbartonshire. Of the n=224 participants nearly two
thirds, 62% felt the number was about right with 29% considering the number to be
too high and 9% considered the number to be too low. 
Those that answered ‘Too High’ were asked a subsequent question on the type of
premises that was over provided for. Of the 65 respondents: 
• 77% felt there were too many corner shops/ convenience stores sold alcohol
• 42% felt there were too many pub/clubs
• 34% felt there were too many garage/petrol stations selling alcohol.

Next Steps
This report has been made available to West Dunbartonshire Licensing Board for
consideration and as evidence of community engagement to support the update of
local Licensing Policy Overprovision Statement.

WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE LICENSING BOARD
Report by Clerk to the Licensing Board
9 May 2023
Subject:  Statement of Licensing Policy – Overprovision Assessment
1. Purpose
1.1 To allow the Licensing Board to determine the extent to which it considers
there to be overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of a
particular description in any locality within the Licensing Board’s area.
2. Recommendations
2.1 It is recommended that the Licensing Board:-
a. consider the material presented to at its meeting of 7 March 2023 and
today and in particular, the statistics provided by the NHS, Police
Scotland, and Licensing Standards Officer;
b. have regard to the recommendations made by the Licensing Forum in
relation to overprovision;
c. satisfy itself that there is a dependable causal link between the alcohol-
related harm and the number and capacity of licensed premises, in
respect of the categories defined in the current Statement of Licensing
Policy, in respect of all intermediate zones forming West
Dunbartonshire with the exception of:-
i. IZ05 (Goldenhill, Parkhall North, East Kilbowie & Hardgate
Central);
ii. IZ07 (Duntocher & Concho); and
iii. IZ09 (Old Kilpatrick)
d. that the Board consult on the terms of its Assessment of Overprovision;
e. that it continues to recognise the positive health benefits associated
with increased employment opportunities as a factor that applicants
may use in support of their application and a factor that may rebut such
a presumption;
f. consult on making increases in the capacities (both on and off-sales) of
premises licences part of the assessment of overprovision;
g. considers if there are any other matters relating to the Assessment of
Overprovision that the Members may wish to consult upon; and
Item 6
Page 111

Page 112

h. agrees that the consultation results will be reported to it at a future
Licensing Board meeting so as to inform the development of the
Assessment of Overprovision.
3. Background
Statutory requirement to carry out an Assessment of Overprovision
3.1 Section 7 of the Licensing (Scotland) 2005 Act (“the 2005 Act”) requires
that the Licensing Board’s Statement of Licensing Policy includes a
statement as to the extent to which the Licensing Board considers there to
be overprovision of licensed premises or licensed premises of a particular
description, in any locality within the Licensing Board’s area. It is for the
Licensing Board to determine the localities.
3.2 When considering whether there is overprovision in any locality, the
Licensing Board:
a) must have regard to the number and capacity of licensed premises in
the locality (at Appendix 1);
b) may have regard to such other matters as the Board thinks fit
including, in particular, the licensed hours of licensed premises in the
locality (details of licensed hours of licensed premises can be found at
Appendix 1); and
c) in terms of section 7(4) of the 2005 Act must consult with the Chief
Constable of Police Scotland, the relevant Health Board, and such
persons that the Board deem representative of the holders of a
premises licence within the locality, persons who are resident in the
locality, and such other persons as the Licensing Board thinks fit.
Guidance issued by Scottish Ministers under section 142 of the 2005 Act
(“the Guidance”)
3.3 In January 2023, the Scottish Ministers issued updated statutory guidance
to licensing boards. Section 142 of the 2005 Act requires that the Licensing
Board must have regard to the Guidance. 
3.4 Therefore, the Board must have regard to Chapter 5 of the Guidance when
preparing its assessment of overprovision. A copy of this chapter can be
found at Appendix 2. 
Current overprovision policy
3.5 The current Licensing Board’s Licensing Policy Statement contains an
assessment of overprovision. This assessment was agreed at the meeting
of 18 September 2018. The assessment sets out that there is an
overprovision of the following categories of licensed premises:
Page 112

Page 113

• Public Houses
• Nightclubs
• Supermarkets
Off Sales and local convenience stores
3.6 The aforementioned assessment utilised intermediate data zone
geographies as the localities for the assessment of overprovision. This
approach was highlighted in the Guidance as good practice. 
3.7 The Licensing Board concluded that a state of overprovision existed in all
18 localities with the exception of: - 
• IZ09 (Old Kilpatrick); and
• IZ14 (Renton, Old Bonhill & Loch Lomond). 
Effect of overprovision policy 
3.8 An application for a new premises licence in area designated as being
overprovided for with licensed premises faces a rebuttable presumption
against the grant of the licence. In its current Statement of Licensing Policy,
the Licensing Board recognises the positive health benefits associated with
increased employment as a factor that applicants may use to support their
application and a factor that may rebut such a presumption. 
3.9 An overprovision policy has a number of purposes and paragraph 5.8 of the
Guidance notes these as being: 
• Enable Licensing Boards to take account of changes since the
publication of their previous Statement of Licensing Policy and any
subsequent supplementary statement of licensing policies which
may have been issued.
• Improve public and trade confidence in the licensing system by
setting out clearly the grounds on which overprovision should be
determined.
• Recognise that halting the growth of licensed premises in localities is
not intended to restrict trade but may be required to preserve public
order, protect the amenity of local communities and mitigate the
adverse health effects of increased alcohol consumption.
• Provide potential entrants to the market with a clear signal that they
may incur abortive costs if they intend to apply for a licence in a
locality which a Licensing Board has declared to have reached
overprovision.
Consultation to date
3.10 At its meeting of 1 November 2022, the Licensing Board agreed to
commence a pre-consultation exercise to inform the development of its
Statement of Licensing Policy and Assessment of Overprovision. 
Page 113

Page 114

3.11 As part of this exercise information was requested from Police Scotland,
the local health board, and Licensing Standards. The information from
Police Scotland related to details of crimes taking place in West
Dunbartonshire, including those relating to alcohol and the information from
Licensing Standards concerned the number, capacity, and licensed hours
of licensed premises. The information from Police and Licensing Standards
was considered at the meeting of 7 March 2023 and the Licensing
Standards report is at Appendix 1 and the Police report at Appendix 3. 
3.12 Information from the local health board, the NHS Greater Glasgow and
Clyde will be considered at today’s meeting. 
3.13 The Licensing Board also received several responses to a pre-consultation
exercise that it carried out. The responses are at Appendix 4 and the
responses are considered elsewhere in this report. 
3.14 The Licensing Board asked the Licensing Forum to consider the material
received by it as part of its consultation exercise and provide to it
recommendations around the development of its Statement of Licensing
Policy and Assessment of Overprovision. In particular, the report from the
Forum considers the statistics from the NHS and Police and the number
and capacities of licensed premises and makes recommendations as to the
localities where overprovision exists. This response from the Licensing
Forum is enclosed at Appendix 5. 
4. Main Issues
Information presented to the Licensing Board from the Health Board
4.1 The Licensing Board will consider the wide-ranging report from NHS
Greater Glasgow and Clyde by way of a separate report.
4.2 This report addresses the impact of Minimum Unit Pricing on the statistics
presented. The Licensing Board will note at paragraph 4.1.2 of that report
the NHS write that while Minimum Unit Pricing is an “essential component
of Scotland’s alcohol strategy”, it remains the case that alcohol harm
continues to an issue in West Dunbartonshire.
4.3 In addition to this report, West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care
Partnership conducted a community survey relating to patterns of alcohol
consumption. Again, this survey will be considered by the Licensing Board
by way of a separate report.
Information supplied to the Licensing Board by Police Scotland
4.4 Information supplied by Police Scotland shows the position within West
Dunbartonshire for alcohol-related crime statistics. This information was
considered by the Licensing Board at its meeting on 7 March 2023.
Page 114

Page 115

Licensing Forum recommendations
4.5 The Licensing Forum in relation to overprovision, recommends that the
Licensing Board consider the following in relation to its Assessment of
Overprovision:
1) satisfy itself that it is appropriate in all the circumstances to grant a
licence bearing in mind the significant health harms being seen in
areas of overprovision and whether the health benefits from
employment support that, and have cognisance of the wider impact
that a grant of a licence in overprovision locality may have; and
2) That the Licensing Board should retain its evidence-led
Overprovision Assessment. With this in mind, the Working Group
was of the view that the material satisfies it that all localities are
overprovided for with the exception of IZ05, IZ07, and IZ09. The
rationale for the Forum’s recommendation for this is set out in
paragraph 5.7 of its report at Appendix 5.
Responses to pre-consultation exercise
4.6 The Licensing Board received various responses to the survey circulated
as part of the pre-consultation exercise, including from the following
organisations:-
• West Dunbartonshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership, West
Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership, and NHS Greater
Glasgow and Clyde
• Scottish Grocers Federation;
• Dumbarton Chamber of Commerce;
• Aldi Stores Limited; and
• Alcohol Focus Scotland
4.7 Not all respondents answered the questions relating to overprovision,
however, those that did express a range of views. These views are
summarised as follows:-
West Dunbartonshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership, West Dunbartonshire
Health and Social Care Partnership, and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
4.8 This respondent noted that “[c]urrent health data shows that alcohol-related
ham and alcohol-specific deaths continue to be above the national average
for West Dunbartonshire as a local authority. West Dunbartonshire has the
3rd highest alcohol-specific deaths across Scotland's council area." They
support the retention of the current localities with the addition of IZ14
(Renton, Old Bonhill & Loch Lomond). 
4.9 The respondents further suggest that the Licensing Board should have
regard to increases in capacity by way of variation applications and the
Page 115

Page 116

licensed hours of premises (see paragraphs 4.20 to 4.22 of this report). 
4.10 The respondent does not support the Licensing Board having continued
regard to the positive health benefits associated with increased
employment opportunities as they do not "…offset the significant alcohol-
related health harms within West Dunbartonshire". This is a matter for the
Licensing Board to determine having regard to all material before it. 
Alcohol Focus Scotland 
4.11 The respondent did not provide a tailored response to the pre-consultation
questionnaire and instead provided a note outlining their views on the
general policy and areas that require particular attention. In relation to
overprovision, the note highlights the introduction of the updated Guidance
and the fact that off-sales numbers in Scotland have reached their highest
level since 2010. 
Scottish Grocers Federation 
4.12 The Scottish Grocers Federation suggests that "overprovision is a blunt
instrument and does little to reduce alcohol-related harm" and that there is
no causal link between alcohol-related problems and the number of
premises with equality being the main determining factor. 
4.13 The respondent further suggests that regard should be given to the positive
impact that a convenience store can have on a local area. By way of
example, the response notes that “[a] store opening will create jobs and
offer access to fruit and vegetables to the local community” and that 75% of
independent retailers have engaged in “some form of community activity in
the last year” thereby demonstrating the important role stores play in
community life. 
4.14 In relation to the question of including increases of capacity as part of the
Overprovision Assessment, the respondent argued against this and
suggested that a “presumption that no increase in alcohol capacity would
be approved in the entire Board area would almost certainly mean that
existing retailers would not invest in modernising and refitting stores”. 
Dumbarton Chamber of Commerce
4.15 The respondent submitted that the current approach is too “prescriptive”
and is contrary to a need to encourage regeneration, i.e. make West
Dunbartonshire appealing as a place to live and work. 
Aldi Stores Limited 
4.16 Aldi Stores Limited’s response highlighted the benefits that come through
employment opportunities created by the opening of a new store. 
Page 116

Page 117

4.17 The respondent further argues that supermarkets facilitate access to fresh
fruit and vegetables as well as playing a role in the regeneration of areas. 
Determining overprovision 
4.18 When determining whether there is overprovision in a locality, the Licensing
Board will have regard to:
• number of licensed premises;
• capacity of licensed premises;
• licensed hours of licensed premises;
• information ingathered as part of the pre-consultation exercise
including data regarding alcohol related hospital admissions, alcohol
specific deaths, alcohol related mental health admissions, Scottish
Index of Multiple Deprivation, police incidents;
• if there is a potential for, or a reasonable basis for, consulting that
there is a risk of adverse impact on the licensing objectives should
more premises licences be granted; and
• is there a dependable causal link between the availability of alcohol in
an area and alcohol-related harm?
The Licensing Board can have regard to the material in front of it as well as
its own local knowledge in satisfying itself that there is a causal link
between the number, hours and capacity of licensed premises and a
concern for one or more of the licensing objectives. Once localities are
determined, the Licensing Board will consult on these localities prior to the
adoption of the Overprovision Assessment.
Categories of licensed premises
4.19 It is proposed that the Licensing Board, having regard to the material
received as part of its pre-consultation exercise, retain the categories of
licensed premises. 
Variations of premises licence 
4.20 A premises licence can be varied to increase its capacity, i.e. the size of its
alcohol display for off-sales type premises or the number of persons
permitted in the premises for on-sales type premises. 
4.21 Increasing the capacity of licensed premises will increase the availability of
alcohol and the Licensing Board will consider views through its consultation
prior to concluding whether there is sufficiency of evidence to establish a
causal link between the increase in capacity and an inconsistency of
licensing objectives. 
4.22 Where the Licensing Board to establish a causal link between an increase
in the capacity and an inconsistency with the licensing objectives, then any
variation application will face a rebuttable presumption against the grant of
the application. 
Page 117

Page 118

The current factors that the Board may consider in its rebuttable
presumption in its current Statement of Licensing Policy 
4.23 The Licensing Board’s Assessment of Overprovision recognises the
positive health benefits associated with increased employment
opportunities as being a factor that applicants may wish to use in support of
their application. The assessment further narrates that the Licensing Board
expects the applicant to provide robust and reliable evidence as to why the
benefit to the licensing objectives through the grant of their application
outweighs the detriment to the licensing objectives and the Assessment of
Overprovision. 
4.24 The policy had regard to national and international studies that suggested
that there is strong evidence that employment is generally good for physical
and mental health. Such evidence includes Is Work Good for your health
and well-being?, Burton and Waddell, 2006 and Losing life and livelihood: A
systematic review and meta-analysis of unemployment and all-cause
mortality, Roelfs, Shor, Davidson, Schwartz, 2011. 
4.25 Members will be aware that this Assessment of Overprovision – of which
the positive consideration of employment opportunities was part of – was
judicially approved in the case of Martin McColl Limited v West
Dunbartonshire Licensing Board, where there was a challenge as to
whether the Board could consider such health benefits by increased
employment opportunities, as a factor that may rebut such a presumption
against grant in areas of overprovision. 
4.26 As narrated at paragraph 4.5, the Licensing Forum while recognising that
the opening of a licensed premises can bring benefits to the area
recommends that the Licensing Board considers whether such a policy is
appropriate owing to: (1) there being evidence that the societal costs of
alcohol harm cancel any economic benefit; and (2) the possibility of the loss
of jobs in other licensed premises owing to the grant of a licence and
therefore the Licensing Board may wish only to grant the licence where it
does not replicate the existing provision.
Next steps
4.27 The localities identified by the Licensing Board as being overprovided for
will be consulted on as set out in paragraph 10. The outcome of the
consultation will be reported to the Licensing Board. At that point the
Licensing Board will finalise the Assessment of Overprovision and it will be
published as part of the Statement of Licensing Policy. 
5. People Implications 
5.1 The work involved in gathering evidence and preparing the Policy has
workload implications for the Board during 2023 but this can be
Page 118

Page 119

accommodated within existing staffing resources. 
6. Financial and Procurement Implications 
6.1 The Policy will allow applicants to assess whether there are sufficient
prospects of success should they proceed with an application. Therefore a
clear policy will assist applicants in avoiding unnecessary expenditure on
lodging and legal fees. 
6.2 A Policy that is legally unsound or based on erroneous material is more
likely to be legally challenged. Such a challenge, should it be successful,
will leave the Board liable to possibly substantial legal fees. A well-
evidenced Policy will diminish the chances of a successful legal challenge. 
7. Risk analysis 
7.1 It is a legal requirement to adopt a new Policy. This requires to be done by
November 2023. Failure to do so would result in reputational loss for the
Board. Furthermore, the lack of a Policy could undermine the Board’s ability
to scrutinise applications. 
8. Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA) 
8.1 The Licensing Board’s Overprovision Assessment is an important tool in
mitigating the health harms and anti-social behaviour caused by alcohol
(where it can be shown that there is a link between these factors). The
Overprovision Assessment is based on evidence provided by Police and
NHS as well as taking into account the views of a wide range of
stakeholders. The Assessment will be subject to statutory consultation prior
to finalising. The EIA will be updated after consultation. 
9. Environmental Sustainability 
9.1 The Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005 places a duty on the
Council to identify and assess the environmental consequences of its
proposals. 
9.2 Under the provisions of the Local Government in Scotland Act 2003, the
Council has to discharge its duties in a way which contributes to the
achievement of sustainable development. In terms of the Climate Change
Act, the Council has a general duty to demonstrate its commitment to
sustainability and the community, environmental and economic impacts of
its actions. 
Page 119

Page 120

9.3 The information contained within this report has been considered under the
Act. However, no action is required as the Act does not apply to the matters
presented in this report. 
10. Consultation
• The 2005 Act defines the persons that the Licensing Board must
consult with when preparing its assessment of overprovision.
These persons are:-
• The Chief Constable;
• The relevant health board;
• Such persons as appear to the Licensing Board to be
representative of the interests of:-
o Holders of premises licences in respect of premises within the
locality; 
o Persons resident in the locality; and
o Such other persons as it thinks fit. 
10.1 Initial consultation has taken place with the Licensing Forum and its
recommendations are articulated within this report. As outlined at
paragraphs 3 a pre-consultation exercise has already taken place and its
outcome reported to the Licensing Board on 7 March 2023 and today. 
10.2 The Licensing Board will carry out an extensive and detailed public
consultation on its licensing policy statement and assessment of
overprovision. It will seek to engage with persons across a broad spectrum.
The Licensing Board will seek to publicise widely the issues via a
questionnaire style issues paper. The Board will publish the consultation on
the Board’s web page and social media to encourage community feedback
and engagement. 
11. Strategic Assessment 
11.1 Licensing plays a key role to make sure our communities are resilient and
thriving.

WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL
Report by Chief Officer - Regulatory and Regeneration
Licensing Board: 7 March 2023
___________________________________________________________________
Subject: Number, Capacity and Licensed hours of Licensed premises in
the West Dunbartonshire area. 
1. Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this report is to advise the Licensing Board (“the Board”) of the
current number, capacity and licensed hours of licensed premises within the
West Dunbartonshire, to inform the Board’s review of the Statement of
Licensing Policy including its overprovision assessment. 
2. Recommendations
2.1 It is recommended that the Board note the contents of this report and utilise
the statistical information contained in the appendices on the number of
licensed premises, the capacity of the licensed premises and the licensed
hours of licensed premises in the West Dunbartonshire area, when carrying
out the overprovision assessment. 
3. Background
3.1 At its meeting on 1 November 2022, the Board considered a report outlining
matters relating to the development of its Policy and Assessment of
Overprovision. It subsequently agreed to various actions including requesting
that Licensing Standards submits to it details of the number and capacities of
licensing premises in its area including details of their licensed hours. 
3.2 Section 7 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 requires that the Board must
include a statement as to the extent to which the Board considers there to be
overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of a particular
description, within any locality within the Board’s area.
3.3  Section 7 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 further requires that, in
consideration of the extent to which the Board considers there to be
overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of a particular
description, that the Board must have regard to the number and capacity of
licensed premises in the locality. The Board may also consider the licensed
hours of premises as part of the assessment of overprovision. 
3.4 The geographies that the Board employs as the localities for the assessment
of overprovision are Intermediate Data zones (IDZs).
Item 6
Appendix 1
Page 122

Page 123

3.5 All licensed premises in the West Dunbartonshire area have been assigned to
their relevant IDZ using mapping software.
3.6 The capacity of licensed premises is defined within Section 147 of the
Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005, as follows: -
“capacity”, in relation to licensed premises, means—
(a) in relation to licensed premises (or any part of such premises) on which
alcohol is sold for consumption on the premises (or, as the case may be,
that part), the maximum number of customers which can be
accommodated in the premises (or, as the case may be, that part) at any
one time, and
(b) in relation to licensed premises (or any part of such premises) on which
alcohol is sold for consumption off the premises (or, as the case may be,
that part), the amount of space in the premises (or, as the case may be,
that part) given over to the display of alcohol for sale,
3.7 The capacity of on-sales premises is the maximum number of persons who
may be accommodated in the premises, as specified within the operating
plan.
3.8 The capacity in off-sales premises is the maximum amount of space for the
display of alcohol for sale in the premises, as specified within the operating
plan. This figure is presented in metres squared. 
4. Main Issues
4.1 There are currently 228 Licensed Premises in the West Dunbartonshire area.
This represents a fall of 12 premises since the last the Board last reviewed the
Statement of Licensing Policy in 2018.
4.2 Of the 228 Licensed Premises, 89 of these premises are licensed for off sales
only (supermarkets, mini-markets etc.), 34 premises are licensed for on sales
only (Public Houses, Restaurants or Hotels etc.) which do not have any off-
sales provisions) and 78 premises are licensed for both on and off sales
(Public Houses, Restaurants etc. which have an ancillary provision to sell
alcohol for consumption off the premises). The remaining 22 premises are
Members Club premises, which, under Section 125 of the Licensing
(Scotland) Act 2005, are exempt from the provisions of Section 7 (duty to
assess overprovision). Therefore, Member’s Club premises are contained
separately at table 2 within appendix 1 and are listed for information purposes
only.
4.3 Since the Board last reviewed the Statement of Licensing Policy there have
been the following variances in premises numbers:
Page 123

Page 124

• On-sales – a reduction of 11 premises from 43 to 34;
• Off-sales – a reduction of 2 premises from 91 to 89; and
• Both on and off sales – no change (78 Premises)
4.4 The total capacity in West Dunbartonshire within the 89 off-sales premises is
2,898.81677 m2. This represents a fall in the total off sales provision of 198.06
since the Licensing Board last reviewed their Licensing Policy in 2018. The
Intermediate Data Zone (IDZ) area with the largest off sales capacity is IZ12
which has a total capacity of 808.3265 m2, spread across 12 off-sales
premises licences. The total off-sales capacity of each IDZ is listed in
appendix 2. 
4.5 For the avoidance of doubt, when the Board last reviewed the Statement of
Licensing Policy, the off-sales capacity for premises with both on and off sales
permissions was set out separately under the heading of secondary capacity.
For the purposes of this report, the off-sales capacity for premises with both
on and off sales permissions has been subsumed into the off sales capacity. 
4.6 The total on-sales capacity within West Dunbartonshire, is 33,092 persons.
This represents a fall in the total on sales provision of 971 persons since the
Licensing Board last reviewed the Licensing Policy in 2018. The IDZ with the
largest provision of on-sales premises is IZ02 with provision for 7,548
persons. The total on-sales capacity within each IDZ is listed in appendix 2. 
4.7 Finally, the Board may have regard to licensed hours in its assessment of
overprovision. The licensed hours of all licensed premises are listed in
appendix 3.
5. People Implications
5.1 There are no staffing or people issues for the Council with this report.
6 Financial and Procurement Implications
6.1 The Policy will allow applicants to assess whether there are sufficient
prospects of success should they proceed with an application. Therefore a
clear policy will assist applicants in avoiding unnecessary expenditure on
lodging and legal fees.
7. Risk Analysis
7.1 It is important that the Licensing Policy Statement provides clear guidance to
applicants and members of the public in relation to the Policy of the
Board. This avoids unnecessary costs for applicants, provides agents and
licensees with clear guidance on what the Board expects and seeks to
simplify the application process. It is also important that the Licensing Policy
Statement considers all available information with regard to the positive and
negative effects associated with Alcohol Licensing.  The Board should fully
Page 124

Page 125

consider the consultation responses to it before adopting its Overprovision
policy.
8. Equalities Impact Assessment

5. OVERPROVISION
Introduction
5.1 This chapter provides information to assist Licensing Boards to make a pro-active
assessment of the overprovision of licenced premises in their licensing authority
area. 
5.2 Licensing Boards have two separate but directly linked responsibilities in
relation to overprovision. Each Licensing Board is required to include a statement as
to overprovision in its authority area within the Board’s statement of licensing policy
(section 7 of the 2005 Act refers) and each Board also needs to consider
overprovision when determining a premises licence or premises licence variation
application (see chapter 8 Premises Licences). 
5.3 There have been a number of amendments made to section 7 since its
commencement.  The Alcohol etc. (Scotland) Act 2010 and the Police and Fire
Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 made changes to the to the list of persons a Licensing
Board must consult when considering whether there is overprovision (as set out at
section 7(1)) in any locality). The “relevant Health Board” was added to the list of
consultees and a textual amendment was made to the reference to Chief constable.
5.4 The Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2015 made a number of
amendments to section 7.  Some were technical whilst others were more
substantive. To assist Boards in considering the wider scope of the protecting and
improving health licensing objective, section 7 was amended to enable Boards to
consider the availability of alcohol across their whole geographic area.   Further
amendments clarified that increased capacity can be considered separately from an
increase in the number of licensed premises in terms of overprovision and that
opening hours should also be considered. 
5.5 Currently, section 7 of the 2005 Act requires a Licensing Board to include in
its statement of licensing policy, a statement as to the extent to which the Board
considers there to be an overprovision of (a) licensed premises, or (b) licensed
premises of a particular description, in any locality within the Board’s area, and in
doing so, the Board may determine that the whole of the Board’s area is a locality.
5.6 An overprovision assessment must be evidenced base.  It is a matter for each
Licensing Board to determine what their overprovision policy will be and how the
evidence it has ingathered will be interpreted and weighted. When undertaking this
work Licensing Boards should be mindful of the five licensing objectives: preventing
crime and disorder; securing public safety; preventing public nuisance; protecting
and improving public health; and protecting children and young persons from harm. 
Licensing Boards Licensing Board should ensure the approach to ingathering,
weighing and interpreting evidence, and consultation responses is robust, all of the
relevant evidence before them is taken into account, and the rationale for
regarding/disregarding that evidence in developing Licensing Policy Statements
(LPS) is clearly set out. 
Item 6
Appendix 2
Page 172

Page 173

5.7      It is also important that Licensing Boards consult widely on a draft
overprovision assessment and carefully consider the views expressed by consultees
prior to finalising an overprovision assessment for the Licensing Board area.
Purpose of overprovision
5.8 The requirement to produce an overprovision assessment, and note this in the
statement of licensing policy, is designed to:
• enable Licensing Boards to take account of changes since the publication
of their previous statement of licensing policy and any subsequent
supplementary statement of licensing policies which may have been
issued.
• improve public and trade confidence in the licensing system by setting out
clearly the grounds on which overprovision should be determined.
• recognise that halting the growth of licensed premises in localities is not
intended to restrict trade but may be required to preserve public order,
protect the amenity of local communities and mitigate the adverse health
effects of increased alcohol consumption.
• provide potential entrants to the market with a clear signal that they may
incur abortive costs if they intend to apply for a licence in a locality which a
Licensing Board has declared to have reached overprovision.
Which licensed premises are to be included?
5.9 Section 7 provides that premises which have only an occasional licence are to
be left out of the assessment of overprovision. Additionally, section 125 of the 2005
Act provides that section 7 does not apply “in relation to premises which are used
wholly or mainly for the purposes of any club of such description as may be
prescribed”.  Members clubs are a category of club which falls within Regulation 2 of
the Licensing (Clubs) Scotland Regulations 2007 (2007/76). All other licensed
premises should be included when considering whether there is overprovision of
licenced premises generally or licensed premises of a particular description.
5.10 Licensed premises of a particular description may be determined in terms of
their style of operation.  For example Scottish Borders Licensing Board states in the
overprovision section of its statement of licensing policy that:
• “The number of late night hour entertainment premises (after 1am) within
Scottish Boarders is currently four.  The Board is of the view that any
increase beyond that number could be overprovision”
Determining Localities
5.11 It is for each Licensing Board to determine the localities within the Licensing
Board’s area for the purposes of the 2005 Act.  This flexibility allows Licensing
Boards to reflect the different circumstances in different geographical areas
Page 173

Page 174

throughout the country, for example, a locality in a rural area might be larger than a
locality in an urban area.  As mentioned above, Licensing Boards can determine that
the whole of the Licensing Board’s area is a single locality.
5.12 The choice of locality must, however it is done, be rational, capable of
justification and be consistent across the Licensing Board area.  It is expected that,
in the interests of openness and transparency, Licensing Boards set out the reasons
for their decision making in arriving at their locality choices (e.g. as part of the
consultation on a Licensing Board’s draft overprovision assessment) . For example,
• North Ayrshire Licensing Board’s statement of licensing policy states:
“The Board's Overprovision Policy covers its whole area, although the
Board has determined that there are 6 'Localities' in its area (coinciding
with the 6 'Localities' used by the North Ayrshire Community Planning
Partnership (CPP).
“These areas contain a total of 38 Intermediate Zones (“IZs”).  IZs are the
areas commonly used to gather a wide range of government statistics.”
• West Dunbartonshire’s statement of licensing policy states:
“In its assessment of overprovision, the West Dunbartonshire Licensing
Board
has continued its established approach of utilising the Scottish
Neighbourhood Statistics intermediate data zone (IDZ) geographies as the
localities for this purpose. “The West Dunbartonshire area can be broken
up in to 18 distinct IDZ localities.”
5.13 City of Glasgow Licensing Board demonstrated best practice in relation to
gathering local views when consulting on proposed localities in relation to its
overprovision assessment. The Licensing Board indicated, through its website, that it
intended to undertake visits to the proposed overprovision localities to speak directly
to local residents and owners and staff of licensed premises in these areas to hear
views on the impact of higher concentrations of licensed premises and to gauge
whether there is support at a local level for including the area as an overprovision
locality in the finalised LPS.
Matters to be considered in determining if there is overprovision
5.14 In determining whether or not overprovision exists, section 7 provides for the
matters a Licensing Board needs to consider:
• must have regard to the number and capacity of licensed premises in the
locality
• must consult
- the chief constable
- the relevant health board
- such persons as appear to the Board to be representative of the interests
of (i) holders of premises licences in respect of premises within the locality,
(ii) persons resident in the locality, and
- such other persons as the Board thinks fit.
Page 174

Page 175

• may have regard to such other matters as the Board thinks fit including, in
particular, the licensed hours of licensed premises in the locality.
Number and capacity of licensed premises
Number of licensed premises
5.15 The number of licensed premises impacts on the availability of alcohol  and
as many Licensing Boards recognise, the type of licensed premises is also of
relevance.  For example, a large supermarket and a small corner shop will each
count as one licensed premises. The amount of alcohol sold by each premise will be
different and the potential harms associated with the amount of alcohol sold will also
be substantially different.  A locality with only licensed restaurants is likely to sell less
alcohol than a locality with only vertical drinking establishments.  The harms
associated with licensed restaurants will be less than the harms associated with
vertical drinking establishments.
5.16 As discussed at Chapter 3 the 2005 Act places a duty on Licensing Boards to
keep a licensing register and this can be used by Licensing Boards to determine the
number of premises licensed for:
• the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises;
• the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises; and
• the sale of alcohol both on and off the premises.
Capacity of licensed premises
5.17 In the context of the 2005 Act and as set out at section 147, capacity –
• in relation to licensed premises (or any part of such premises) on which
alcohol is sold for consumption on the premises (or, as the case may be,
that part), the maximum number of customers which can be
accommodated in the premises (or, as the case may be, that part) at any
one time, and
• in relation to licensed premises (or any part of such premises) on which
alcohol is sold for consumption off the premises (or, as the case may be,
that part), the amount of space in the premises (or, as the case may be,
that part) given over to the display of alcohol for sale.
On-sales
5.18 Many Licensing Boards comment in their overprovision assessments that
they seek input from their local authority Building Standards Officers regarding
capacity matters. For calculating the capacity for on-sales, Licensing Boards may
wish to have regard to the parts of the Technical Handbook  issued in support of the
Buildings (Scotland) Regulations 2004 which relate to occupancy capacity and the
number of licensed hours  the premises is open.  The Building Standards pages on
the Scottish Government website Building standards - gov.scot (www.gov.scot)
provides information on buildings regulations and the associated technical guidance.
Page 175

Page 176

Off-sales
5.19 For calculating the capacity for off-sales, Licensing Boards should have
regard to the Premises License (Scotland) Regulations 2007 (SSI 2007 No. 252) and
regulation 5 which makes provision as to the layout plan. 
5.20 In its statement of licensing policy, Stirling Licensing Board states:
• “Assessing the capacity of licensed premises is important under the Act.
This is, in part, due to the fact that capacity of premises will be taken into
account in assessing overprovision.
• “On sales
The Board considers that it is very important for licence holders to have a
sound knowledge of the safe capacity of their premises. Capacity for on
sales premises should be presented to the Board in patron numbers. The
capacity should be worked out using the formula used by Building
Standards, this formula does not take into account the fixtures and fitting
of the premises.
“This is particularly so where the premises are large, or where they include
entertainment such as live music, dances and discos. The Board expects,
in respect of these types of premises, that there should be suitable
capacity control measures in place. These may include stewarding, door
number clickers or issuing of tickets.
• “Off sales
Again, the Board considers that it is very important for licence holders to
have a sound knowledge of the capacity of their premises. Capacity for off
sales premises should be presented to the Board in meters squared”.
Consultation
5.21 As set out at Chapter 4 statements of licensing policy, Licensing Boards are
encouraged to consult widely within their respective areas on both their statement of
licensing policy and it is equally import ant for Licensing Boards to consult widely on
their overprovision assessment. Licensing Boards may wish to consider carrying out
these two consultations simultaneously. For example, Edinburgh Licensing Board
published 2 consultations and commented on their web page:
• “The Edinburgh Licensing Board is consulting on the terms of its draft
statement of licensing policy, having carried out an informal consultation
earlier in the year. As part of this process, the Board is also consulting on
its assessment of localities in the Board’s area which show characteristics
of overprovision of licensed premises. These two consultations are being
carried out in tandem.
• “Details of the individual localities, and the basis upon which they’ve been
considered, is set out in the supporting documentation provided with this
consultation”.
Page 176

Page 177

5.22 Chapter 6 Local Licensing Forums (LLFs) sets out the important role a LLF
has to play in the alcohol licensing regime.  In terms of other persons a Licensing
Board may wish to consult, it is encouraging to note that LLFs and third sector
organisations providing treatment services for alcohol harm within their locality, are
as a matter of course being invited by many Licensing Boards to offer their views. 
This is an approach the Scottish Government strongly supports.
5.23 For example in its statement of licensing policy under the heading of
“Development of the Pro-Active Assessment of Overprovision”, Glasgow City
Licensing Board comment:
• “In particular, the Licensing Board had regard to a report from the Local
Licensing Forum with evidence and recommendations as to localities
where the Forum considered there to be overprovision of licensed
premises or licensed premises of a particular description. A copy of the
report approved by the Local Licensing Forum, together with the
supporting  evidence gathered, is available at:
https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/councillorsandcommittees/viewDoc.asp?c=P6
2AFQDN2U2UDNZ3DN
5.24 As regards consultation on localities in relation to its overprovision
assessment, Inverclyde Licensing Board commented in its statement of licensing
policy: 
• “As the determination of “localities” is largely a matter for the Board, local
knowledge plays a significant part in such determinations. The Board has
had extensive consultations with Inverclyde Licensing Forum, who have in
turn consulted with Community Councils, premises licence holders, the
Inverclyde Alcohol and Drug Partnership, the NHS, Police Scotland,
Inverclyde Community Health and Care Partnership and local residents”.
5.25 In preparing their statement of licensing policy and overprovision assessment,
Dumfries and Galloway Licensing Boards had 2 periods of consultation which
included 2 public meetings and a Working Group was also set up  to discuss
Overprovision. This Group met several times and comprised of the following
members: Scottish Fire and Rescue Service; Police Scotland; Alcohol and Drug
Partnership (NHS) and Dumfries and Galloway Council.
Other matters
5.26 A Licensing Board’s consideration of overprovision need not be confined to
only considering numbers and capacity but could take account of other factors too.
Licensing Boards have considerable discretion in this area.
5.27 In considering the statutory definition of ‘capacity’, it is accepted that there are
other ways of considering in a wider sense what the capacity of a premises is.  While
the 2005 Act does not permit any alternative definition of capacity to be used,
Licensing Boards are encouraged to consider under other matters whether, for
example, a relevant factor to be considered alongside capacity of premises would be
the ability for stock to be resupplied quickly.  In other words, a premises which was
able to maintain large stock levels but only had a relatively small area for displaying
Page 177

Page 178

stock may then suggest a small capacity while actually they are capable of
significant sales volumes.  
5.28 Other matters could be such things as inequalities; the proximity of specific
types of premises such as facilities for vulnerable adults with problematic alcohol
use; mental health services; hospitals; schools/nurseries; sports facilities; gambling
facilities.  Other considerations could also include concerns regarding people visiting
the locality from other areas.
5.29 In particular, inequalities is an important consideration for Licensing Boards in
relation to overprovision.  There is a stark inequalities gradient to alcohol harm and a
growing awareness that the impact of harmful drinking and alcohol dependence is
much greater for those experiencing high levels of deprivation.  For example, people
living in our most deprived communities are over seven times more likely to die or
are more than eight times more likely to be admitted to hospital due to alcohol use
than those in our least deprived communities (Monitoring and Evaluating Scotland’s
Alcohol Strategy: Monitoring Report 2019: NHS Health Scotland; 2019). Similarly,
areas of high deprivation can have extremely high rates of alcohol-related fires and
crime rates, and it can often be individuals other than the drinker who feel the effects
of alcohol use, including children, family, friends, colleagues and those working in
frontline services such as the Police and Health Service.
5.30 Research examining the association between the density of alcohol outlets
and neighbourhood-level income deprivation in Scotland has also found that there
are 40% more licensed premises in the most deprived areas of Scotland than in the
least deprived (BMC Public Health 2015 Research article “A cross-sectional analysis
of the relationship between tobacco and alcohol outlet density and neighbourhood
deprivation” N.K. Shortt et al).  By taking account of evidence on inequalities,
Licensing Boards can meaningfully consider how different communities are impacted
differently by alcohol, and use this to formulate their policy.  
Assessing overprovision
5.31 There are a number of underlying principles that the Licensing Board should
take into account as they approach the development of their statement of
overprovision:
• Licensing Boards should use alcohol-harm information (or potential
alcohol-harm information) to identify localities and then proceed to
consider the number, type and capacity of premises in those areas.
• It is the potential for undesirable consequences which is intended to be
addressed through overprovision assessments as a requirement within the
2005 Act.  This can be thought of as the cumulative effect of more and
more licences being granted in a locality and what this means in respect of
the effect on life in that area.  It is the cumulative effect rather than the
actions of any single operator that is key.
• If a Licensing Board considers there is at least potential for, or a
reasonable basis for, concluding that there will be a risk of adverse impact
Page 178

Page 179

on the objectives (should more premises licences be granted), it is entitled
to come to the view that there is a state of overprovision.
• Consideration should be given as to whether aggregate information and
evidence from a number of sources demonstrates a link between the
availability of alcohol in an area and alcohol-related harm.
• To demonstrate a “dependable causal link”, the proof of the link must be
on a balance of probabilities.  What this means in practice is that based on
the evidence of harm in a locality, it is more likely than not that alcohol
availability is a cause, or that increasing the availability of alcohol in that
area will increase that harm.
• There is no simple numerical formula for pinpointing the threshold between
provision and overprovision.  Determining overprovision involves the
application of reason and judgement in the interests of the community.

Introduction
The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 Section 7 places a duty on all Licensing Boards to publish what is to be known as a ‘Licensing Policy Statement’ for their area for
a 4-year period. This statement should offer guidance and clarity on the policy on which Licensing Boards base their decisions in implementing their functions under
the Act. As part of this policy statement Licensing Boards are required to make a pro-active assessment of overprovision of licensed premises in their area.
This report has been requested by Michael McDougall, Depute Clerk to the West Dunbartonshire Licensing Board and PS David Holmes, Licensing Department,
Police Scotland, Dumbarton and will be used to inform the West Dunbartonshire Council Overprovision report for 2023. The key purpose of the report is to provide
information in relation to levels of alcohol related crimes and incidents occurring within West Dunbartonshire during the period 04 November 2019 to 03 November
2022.
The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in various periods of lockdown, particularly between March 2020 and March 2021, which significantly influenced crime and incident
levels across West Dunbartonshire, in particular those occurring within a public space.  Most crime and incident types relating to violence, disorder and domestic
abuse saw a significant downward trend during this period. The potential effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on crime / incident figures should therefore be borne in
mind when considering the contents of this report. 
Aim
This report aims to provide analysis of number and location of licensed premises within the West Dunbartonshire Council area by intermediate zone. The report will
examine levels of associated crimes and incidents, indicating where possible if alcohol was a factor. This report will highlight areas with high levels of crime and
recorded incidents that also have a high number of licensed premises.
Intermediate zones are a statistical geography that sit between data zones and local authorities and were created for use with the Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics
(SNS) programme. There are 1279 intermediate zones in Scotland, containing between 2,500 and 6,000 household residents per zone. West Dunbartonshire has 18
Intermediate Zones and a total population of 87,790. Maps showing the boundaries of the 18 Intermediate Zones is provided on the following page.

Methodology
Details of all licensed premises locations within each Intermediate Data Zone (IDZ) were provided by West Dunbartonshire Council. Population figures for each IDZ
was extracted from the Scottish Government website for 2022 and combined with the Intermediate Datazones 2011 layer used by Police Scotland within the ArcGIS
system. 
Crime and incident data was extracted from the Police Scotland Crime Management System and ScOMIS for the period 4 November 2019 to 3 November 2022. This
data was extracted on 27 January 2023. Information relating to Group 1 Crimes of Violence and Minor Assault was extracted from the Crime Management Database
held locally and Domestic Abuse Incident and crime data was extracted from Interim Vulnerable Persons Database (iVPD) by the APU, Police Scotland, Dalmarnock.
Taking into consideration both population sizes and crime and incident levels within West Dunbartonshire the comparative rate per head of population was set to
10,000.
Data Limitations
It should be noted that current police systems do not facilitate the recording of whether crimes and incidents involved alcohol or where alcohol may have been a
contributing factor. A crime database is however held locally which contains the details of all crimes involving violence with West Dunbartonshire. This information is
updated manually on a weekly basis and an assessment made as to whether alcohol was a possible contributory factor. Data extracted from iVPD system in relation
to Domestic Abuse contains an alcohol marker which was used to filter alcohol related incidents and crimes. Youth related disorder incidents were filtered using a
key word search for the following: YOUTH, YTH, KID, TEEN, BOY, GIRL, GANG or GROUP.
These data are NOT OFFICIAL POLICE STATISTICS and should be considered as management information.

Group 1 Crimes of Violence & Minor Assault
Group 1 Crimes of Violence are those considered to have involved ‘serious violence’ and include murder, attempted murder, culpable homicide, serious assault,
robbery, the cruel and unnatural treatment of children, threats and extortion. Minor assault includes crimes committed against emergency workers.
Levels of ‘serious’ violence occurring within West Dunbartonshire has seen a slight increase in recent years with an increase of 13.4% compared to the 5 year average
for the period April – October 2022. Table 1 shows the number of Group 1 Crimes of Violence recorded within each Intermediate Zone during the period 04 November
2021 – 03 November 2022. It also provides comparison with the 3 year average (2019 – 22). In terms of Group 1 Violence the highest number of crimes per 10,000
head of population was recorded within IZ08 Mountblow/Parkhall and IZ18 Balloch North. IZ08 Mountblow/Parkhall also recorded the third highest number of minor
assaults per 10,000 head of population.  The highest number of minor assaults per head of population was recorded in IZ03 Drumry/Linnvale/North Kilbowie followed
by IZ02 Dalmuir.

Disorder Crimes and Incidents
Crimes1 and incidents2 of disorder generally include actions which cause annoyance to others within the community or damage to their property. During 2021/22 both
disorder crimes and incidents within West Dunbartonshire followed an overall downward trend compared to the 3 year average. As shown below, IZ02 Dalmuir
recorded the highest number of disorder crimes and incidents during 2021/22 (728) followed by Dumbarton Central/Silverton/Townend (596). However, when
comparing crimes per 10,000 head of population based on the 3 year average IZ02 Dalmuir continued to record the highest number but IZ08 Mountblow/Parkhall
recorded the second highest number, followed by IZ03 Drumry/Linnvale/North Kilbowie. This reflects current ASB trends whereby these areas typically experience
the highest concentration of crimes and incidents.

Youth Disorder 
Youth related disorder incidents were identified by filtering all disorder incidents using a key word search. Figures indicate an overall downward trend in youth disorder
within West Dunbartonshire during 2021/22 compared to the previous 3 year average. As shown in table 3 below the Intermediate Zones that have recorded a higher
number of incidents both in number terms and by head of population are largely aligned to known ‘hotspot’ locations for youth disorder. IZ10 Dumbarton East has
seen an increase compared to the previous report this is largely due to a spike in youth disorder incidents for the period 2020/21 which has increased the 3 year
average although there has only been 28 incidents reported in 2021/22.

Alcohol Specific Crimes
Alcohol specific crimes3 are those where the consumption of alcohol or the act of being intoxicated are the libelled crimes. Also incorporated in this section are those
crimes which come under the Licensing Scotland Act 2005 for crimes including being heavily intoxicated in licensed premises or attempting to enter premises whilst
heavily intoxicated.
Crimes relating to consuming alcohol in public and being drunk and incapable has continued to reduce considerably during 2021/22 continuing an overall downward
trend. This may in part be related to Covid-19 and the effect of lockdowns on alcohol related public space crimes over the last 3 years. As shown below, despite not
recording the highest number of crimes IZ02 Dalmuir has recorded the highest number per 10,000 head of population, followed by IZ05 Goldenhill/Hargate/Parkhall,
and then IZ12 Dumbarton Central/Silverton/Townend which has the highest number of licensed premises.

Domestic Crimes & Incidents
The table below details the number of domestic crimes and incidents which were given alcohol markers meaning the victim, offender or both had consumed alcohol.
Although it is of note that an alcohol marker is not always populated for every crime or incident involving alcohol. The total number of incidents with an alcohol marker
recorded in 2021/22 was 291 which is a considerable reduction from 2020/21 (411) and is lower than the previous 3 year average figure (388). Domestic crimes have
also reduced with 126 recorded 2021/22 compared to 194 recorded in the previous year 2020/21 which is also lower than the 3 year average figure (178). As shown
in the table below, the intermediate zones which experienced the highest number of domestic crimes and incidents in number terms also recorded a higher number
per 10,000 head of population based on the 3 year average. While IZ01 Whitecrook recorded a slightly lower 3 year average (42.7) than the other areas highlighted,
it also has a considerably lower population hence it ranked third highest.

Key Findings
In order to identify which areas had experienced the highest number of alcohol related crimes and incidents overall, each intermediate zone was given a number
representative of its position or rank within each crime category and the top three highlighted to show which IZ appeared most often as an area with high levels of crime
or incidents. As such, in the table provided below numbers are only indicative of the position of the IZ within each crime or incident category where 1st represents the IZ
that has recorded the highest number of crimes or incidents and 18th the lowest number. This is based on the 3 year average figure per 10,000 head of population.

Key Findings Cont.
This clearly highlights that IZ02 Dalmuir ranks highest across 3 of the 5 different crime and incident categories and second highest against a further one. While this
area has the third highest number of licensed premises it also incorporates Clydebank Shopping Centre and the retail park and therefore also has a slightly lower
population (eighth lowest).
IZ08 Mountblow/Parkhall is ranked second highest overall, ranking highest in 2 of the 5 crime and incident categories notably in alcohol related violence as well as
domestic abuse crimes and incidents. This IZ also ranks second highest in alcohol related disorder and youth disorder.  Similarily IZ03, Drumry/Linnvale/North Kilbowie
ranked third in relation to alcohol related disorder, this is in line with the higher concentrations of anti-social behaviour typically recorded within these areas.
IZ12 Dumbarton Central/Silverton/Townend, recorded third highest in relation to alcohol specific crimes and youth disorder. This area has the highest number of
licensed premises recorded and is a known hotspot area for youth disorder.

Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Introduction
The West Dunbartonshire Licensing Board is preparing its new statement of licensing policy. This document describes how the
Board will consider applications relating to the sale of alcohol and its general expectations around how licence holders will
operate alcohol licensed premises. We would like your views how the current policy operates and what areas the Board should
look at moving forward. 
The Board must make sure that the policy promotes the licensing objectives which are: 
- Preventing crime and disorder;
- Securing public safety;
- Preventing public nuisance;
- Protecting and improving public health; and
- Protecting children and young persons from harm. 
The policy addresses a wide range of issues that will impact the operation of licensed premises. These include but are not
limited to: licensed hours, children and young persons' access, management of outdoor areas, use of occasional (i.e.
temporary) licences and extended hours certificates, and whether there is an overprovision of licensed premises of a particular
type in a locality of West Dunbartonshire, for example pubs, bars, supermarkets, or convenience stores. 
The closing date for responding is 24/02/2023. 
Should you have any questions, please contact Michael McDougall, Depute Clerk to the Licensing Board at
michael.mcdougall@west-dunbarton.gov.uk

Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
What is the purpose of this consultation?
The Board adopted the current statement of licensing policy in November 2018. It will apply this until a new policy is
published. 
A new policy must be agreed upon and published by the Licensing Board by November 2023. It is a statutory requirement that
the Board consult before agreeing on the terms of its policy. As part of the development of the policy, the Board is carrying out
a pre-consultation with key stakeholders. This will help inform what matters will be part of the public consultation later in 2023. 
The Board wants to hear your views on the impact of the Board's policy over the past five years and what could be improved.
In particular, the Board is keen to listen to any evidence around the impact of COVID-19 on the licensed trade and invites
comments on whether there are any areas in particular that the Board should look at as part of the development of its new
policy. 
The Board is committed to engaging in a robust and thorough process to develop its new policy. Therefore, it hopes to hear
from a wide range of voices. 
You may find it useful to have read the Board's policy prior to completing this questionnaire. You can find the policy here.

Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Part 1: Introduction
This part of the policy introduces the reader to its purpose and background. You can view this part of the policy here. 
3. At paragraph 7, the policy refers to national strategies or local policies that the Board may have regard to. Are there any of
these that are no longer relevant or any not named that the Board should consider including here?
`
4. At paragraph 8, the policy notes that the Board recognises that tourism is a major contributor to parts of its area, particularly
the Local Lomond area. How does the Board's current policy impact on tourism? 
5. Is there anything the Board can consider doing to support the local tourist economy through its policy? 
6. Do you have any general comments in relation to Part 1 of the Board's policy? 
Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Part 2: The licensing objectives
This part of the policy sets out how the board will promote the licensing objectives. You can view this part of the policy here. 
7. To what extent do you agree that the Board's current policy promotes the licensing objectives? 
Very significantly   
Whilst it is welcomed to see a section dedicated to equalities, an updated statement including the following would enhance this section further
- an ongoing commitment to being aware of and responding to new evidence throughout the life of the new policy, in relation to protected characteristics 
- demonstrating an understanding/awareness that alcohol harm affects individuals differently, regardless of protected characteristics 
- commitment to publishing an Equalities Impact Assessment 
Currently there is no mention of inequalities within this section.  The association between inequalities and alcohol harm is well documented and the policy should recognise its role in regards to alcohol
availability in deprived areas.  In addition, the introduction of the Fairer Scotland Duty places a legal responsibility on public bodies to actively consider how they can reduce inequalities, including during
policy development. 
In our view, it is out with the scope of this policy to support the tourist economy and question if ‘tourism’ should continue to have its own heading within a new updated policy.  It would be more
favourable to broaden this heading to ‘economy’, which would recognise the wider impact the alcohol industry has on the local economy (positive and negative) beyond tourism. 
The current policy is worded (and implemented) in a manner that is pro alcohol related tourism.  There is evidence to show alcohol availability and its subsequent exposure is greater in areas where
there are more tourists.  Consideration must be given to local residents, particularly where there is higher than average alcohol related harm and in deprived areas, to not favour tourism to the detriment
of residents. 
Changing Scotland’s Relationship with Alcohol: A Framework for Action (2009), replaced by Alcohol Framework 2018.  In addition, there is Rights, Respect and Recovery 2018 and 2020 update,
Scotland’s Public Health Priorities (priority 4), West Dunbartonshire Alcohol and Drug Strategy 2020-25, West Dunbartonshire Community Planning Substance Use Prevention Strategy, Public Health
Scotland Strategic Plan 2022-2025, Fairer Scotland Duty, Ministerial Priorities (reduce the attractiveness, affordability and availability of alcohol).

X  Significantly 
Slightly 
Not at all
Please let us know why you agree or disagree with the policy. 
8. Can the Board take any additional steps to help promote the licensing objectives? 
9. At paragraph 16.4, the policy sets out various recommendations around children and young persons' access. Do you think
that these recommendations are sufficient to protect children and young persons from harm? 
Yes 
X No
What are the reasons for your answer? 
It is recognised there is a desire to equally promote the five licensing objectives as outlined within the legislation. However, there is national evidence to demonstrate the lack of consideration given to
and impact of the Public Health Objective since its introduction in Scotland, including in areas where there is active Public Health involvement as we have here in West Dunbartonshire.  Since November
2018, Public Health have submitted 12 objections to licensing applications in West Dunbartonshire and none have been upheld on public health grounds.   
Paragraph 15.3 offers suggested measures to promote the public health objective.  It should be noted that these suggestions are not individually or combined, sufficient to offset the alcohol related
harms experienced locally. 
The written policy does promote the licensing objectives.  However, there is a lack of evidence of the policy in practice promoting the objectives eg. Applications have not been refused on the grounds of
each of the five objectives. 
Furthermore, only 5 applications were refused in the 5 years between November 2018 and 22 February 2023. Over the same period, 42 applications were granted. As of 31 March 2022, West
Dunbartonshire has 229 alcohol outlets (on and off trade), which means there is approximately one outlet for every 385 residents. 
No, the recommendations offered are not sufficient to protect children and young people.  
We recommend the following changes: 
• Paragraph 16.1 states ‘The Board welcomes applications’ we believe the word welcome gives the impression the policy wishes to encourage applications from premises that
accommodate children and young people. Therefore, we would recommend replacing ‘welcomes’ with ‘will consider’ 
• Paragraph 16.2 states ‘The Board encourages license holders to demonstrate both within their Operating Plan and in their everyday practice the measures which will be put in place
to protect children and young people from harm’. We believe this language must be stronger and suggest replacing ‘encourage’ with ‘requires’. 
• Paragraph 16.3 uses 'appropriate’ which is subjective and open to interpretation. This needs to be defined by the board, particularly in relation to staff checks in premises where
children may be present.
• Paragraph 16.4 (b) in relation to the position of gaming machines uses ‘preferably’ which is optional for the premises.  This paragraph would be stronger if ‘preferably’ was omitted
and children and young people would be subjected to gaming machines at all when entering and leaving premises.
• Suggest introducing a new measure where children and not allowed to be in close proximity of the bar area
The policy does not acknowledge that children and young people who are exposed to visible alcohol consumption with their environment may experience a degree of harm.  This is well
documented in evidence provided by the Children’s Parliament and Alcohol Focus Scotland.  Visibility of alcohol consumption normalises drinking culture to young people as potential future
drinkers with younger children being more affected.

Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Part 3: Licences
This part of the policy sets out how the board will consider various types of licence applications. You can view this part of the policy here. 
10. At paragraphs 18.2 to 18.4 the policy sets out the Board's approach to children and young persons' access to licensed premises, for example,
the standard terminal hour for children and young persons' access and situations when children and young persons will be permitted on licensed
premises. 
Does this access promote the licensing objective of protecting children and young persons' from harm? 
YES   X  NO
Please let us know why this access either promotes or does not promote this licensing objective. 
11. At paragraph 18.6, the policy discusses the Board's approach to home deliveries of alcohol. Does this approach deal with any issues that may 
We strongly support the goal of protecting children and young people, which we believe includes involving young people in discussions about the licensing system and shielding them from harm caused by alcohol and alcohol-related substances.
According to a recent Scottish study, alcohol abuse is the leading cause of harm among young people and increases the likelihood of developing an alcohol dependence as an adult. The following were the study's key findings: 
• 47% of children were exposed through off-label alcohol stores. 
• Off-sale alcohol stores were almost five times more likely to expose children in the most deprived areas than in the least deprived ones.
• Compared to children in the least deprived areas, those in the most deprived communities were almost three times more likely to be exposed to alcohol sales outlets.
• Compared to children from less deprived areas, 31% of children in deprived areas were exposed to off-sale stores within 500 meters of their homes.
• Children from all areas received between 22% and 32% of their exposure within 500 meters of schools; however, the percentage of this education that came from off-sale outlets increased with area deprivation. 
Because children have no control over what they are exposed to, limiting alcohol exposure is essential. We believe that the licensing policy should be primarily driven by this.

11. At paragraph 18.6, the policy discusses the Board's approach to home deliveries of alcohol. Does this approach deal with any issues that may
arise in terms of the licensing objectives? 
Yes   X No
If you have answered 'no', what other measures can the Board consider? 
12. At paragraph 18.7 to 18.13, the policy describes how the Board will licence outside drinking. Is the approach in the policy sufficient to promote
the licensing objectives of preventing public nuisance or any other licensing objective you think relevant? 
Yes  No
If you have answered 'no', what other measures can the Board consider? 
No, this approach does not deal with issues that may arise in regards to protecting public health and children and young people.  The policy could require that orders
cannot be left in designated safe locations and that delivery staff must receive the same level of training as those who sell or supply alcohol in licensed establishments. 
The Board could also look into the possibility of requiring online retailers to provide data on delivery refusal rates and sales and distribution areas.
Covid-19 has resulted in an increase in the number of ‘Outside Drinking’ applications.  Several temporary licenses were successfully submitted on ‘Public Health’ grounds to reduce airborne infection. 
However, the removal of social distancing legislation has not resulted in the suspension of these licenses.  In fact, the contrary is true, and a number of these temporary licenses have now been made
permanent.  This in turn has led to a significant increase in capacity locally.  To mitigate these circumstances, we propose variations to applications, both temporary and permanent, should be subject to the
same overprovision as new policies i.e. “create a rebuttable presumption against the grant of an application within these localities.
In addition to concerns in relation to increased capacity we also wish to highlight the impact outside drinking has had on children and young people.  As highlighted by the Scottish Government in Licensing
(Scotland) Act 2005 Section 142 Guidance for Licensing Boards (paragraph 12.5) “Children and young persons can be impacted by the drinking behaviours they observe in adults as well as being exposed
to the marketing and promotion of alcohol within a licensed premises.”  As such, we recommend the Licensing Board request the applicant demonstrate the measures which will be put in place to protect
children and young people from harm, particularly where the venue for the outdoor license is in proximity of to a venue a young person would attend e.g. school, sports facility, community centre.  The
Licensing Board has adopted a similar approach to this suggestion with the WDC Gambling Policy.

13. Paragraph 20 sets out the Board's approach to occasional (i.e. temporary) licences. Is the Board's general approach to dealing with occasional
licences fit for purpose? 
Yes  X No
What are your reasons for your answer? 
14. Paragraph 21 deals with how the Board will process and determine extended hours certificate applications. Does the Board's approach
promote the licensing objectives? 
Yes  No
What are the reasons for your answer? 
There is evidence to show the impact of policies regulating alcohol trading times on alcohol related harm.  Sanchez-Ramirez and Voaklander (2018) say that laws limiting when people can buy
and sell alcohol can help lower the number of injuries, homicides and crimes related to alcohol.  As such, we believe extended licensed hours will lead to increased alcohol consumption and in
turn increased alcohol harm.  This will place increasing pressure on the health and social care system, particularly hospitals, during certain times of the year that attract extended hours, such
as Christmas and New Year and we ask that this be taken into consideration.
The Board could develop and implement an Occasional License Supplementary Information Form in order to guarantee that the sale of alcohol under occasional licenses is appropriately constrained
to uphold the licensing objectives.  In some Board areas, occasional license holders are already required to demonstrate how they will promote the five licensing objectives and provide concrete
examples of how they plan to comply with each objective.

15. At paragraph 22 of the policy, the Board addresses those premises that are tenanted out and where the premises licence holder is the
landlord. Do you have any comments on the Board's approach here? 
16. In light of Unite's "Get me Home Safely campaign", the Board welcomes comments on how best the Board can support licence holders
in making sure that workers in the late night economy get home safely. 
Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Part 4: Overprovision
This part of the of the policy sets out the Board's approach to determining whether there is overprovision of licensed premises or licensed
premises of a particular description in any locality within West Dunbartonshire. The policy can be viewed here. 
Historically the Board has utilised Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics intermediate data zone (IDZ) geographies as the localities for this
purpose. These IDZs represent small geographical sections of the West Dunbartonshire area equivalent to an average of 4,000 household
residents, and allow for the easy compilation of various data, in consideration of which the Board makes its assessment on the provision
of licensed premises. 
No comments.
We have no suggestions on how best to support the campaign but we believe this should be extended to
patrons, who may be vulnerable.
Page 214

Page 874

In considering whether there is overprovision, the Board must have regard to the number and capacity of licensed premises in a locality. 
The effect of an overprovision policy is to create a rebuttable presumption against the grant of an application within these localities for
the foregoing types of licensed premise. Each application still requires to be determined on its merits and there may be exceptional cases
in which an applicant is able to demonstrate that the grant of the application would not undermine the licensing objectives, or the
objectives would not be undermined if the applicants operating plan were to be modified. 
17. Should the Board continue to include the current localities within its assessment on overprovision? Please see the Board's policy at
paragraph 23.9 for details of these localities. 
x Yes  No
What are the reasons for your answer? 
18. What impact, if any, do you think the Board's overprovision policy has had on any of these localities? 
Current health data shows that alcohol related harm and alcohol specific deaths continue to be above the national average for West Dunbartonshire
as a local authority.  West Dunbartonshire has the 3rd highest alcohol specific deaths across Scotland’s council area. Furthermore, when alcohol
specific deaths were analysed for the year (2016-2020) against the baseline year (2002-2006) for each area. West Dunbartonshire has the second
greatest increase in Alcohol Specific Deaths in Scotland.
Additionally, all intermediate zones within West Dunbartonshire have at least 1 alcohol related health harm indicators (Alcohol Related Hospital
Admissions; Alcohol Specific Deaths; Alcohol Related Mental Health Admissions) above the national average with 16 of the 18 intermediate zones
having 2 or more, 
Unfortunately, to date, the Board has not rejected a single application on the grounds of its overprovision policy. 
Alcohol harms remain significant in WD and continue to rise.  In addition circumstances (C19) have arisen throughout the life of the current policy that meant availability/access and visibility of
alcohol consumption has increased (more outdoor areas with increased patron capacity, capacity increasing within off sales).   
Areas where data has improved, can’t attribute this to overprovision.  Better to have one area of overprovision and enforce this - intent Page 215

Page 875

19. Should the Board consider identifying any other localities as being overprovided for in terms of licensed premises, and if so,
why? 
20. The Board considers there to be overprovision of the following types of licensed premises within 16 of the 18 localities that make
up West Dunbartonshire: 
- public houses;
- nightclubs;
- off-sales and local convenience stores; and
- supermarkets. 
Does this approach to overprovision continue to be appropriate? 
Yes x No
Please let us know why you think this. 
IZ14
Data shows that IZ14 now has all 3 alcohol related harm indicators above the Scottish average.  
The overprovision policy needs to take congnisance of the increase in provision through variation applications for additional capacity of patrons, square
meterage, outdoor space and additional hours as noted in the Licensing Act (Scotland) 2005 7.3 (aa) which states boards may give regards to other matters it
deems fit. 
Page 216

Page 876

21. The Board's policy in relation to overprovision recognises the positive health benefits associated with increased employment
opportunities. This may be a factor that the Board has regard to when determining an application in an area of overprovision. 
Does it remain appropriate for the Board to continue to have regard to these benefits? 
Yes  x No
Please let us know why you think this. 
22. Should the Board consider licensed hours when considering if there is an overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises
of a particular description, in a locality? 
x Yes  No
Please let us know why you think this. 
We do not consider the employment benefits to offset the significant 
alcohol related health harms within West Dunbartonshire.  
Yes as this has an impact on access and availability. As per answer to
Q14
Page 217

Page 877

23. Are there any other matters that the Board should consider when considering matters relating to overprovision? 
Having a robust overprovision statement is imperative given the Alcohol related health harm within West Dunbartonshire.

Part 5: Licensed hours
This part of the policy narrates the Board's general policy about licensed hours for both off-sales and on-sales premises. You
can view this part of the policy here. 
24. The Board will generally consider 10am to 8pm as appropriate licensed hours for off-sales with the additional hours of 8pm
to 10pm only given where the applicant can demonstrate suitable enhanced control measures are in place. Does this
approach promote the licensing objectives? 
x Yes   
No
Please let us know why you support or oppose this policy position. 
25. In relation to premises offering no significant entertainment facilities, such as public houses, hotel bars, and members
clubs, the Board considers a terminal hours of 12midnight on Sunday to Thursday and 1am on Friday and Saturday to be
appropriate. Do you agree? 
Yes   
No
Please let us know why you either support or oppose these policy hours. 
26. In relation to premises offering significant entertainment facilities, such as nightclubs, the Board considers a terminal hour
of 1am on Monday to Wednesday and 3am on Thursday to Sunday to be appropriate. Do you agree? 
Yes   
No
Please let us know why you either support or oppose these policy hours. 
We note and support the enhanced control measures within the policy.  However, this could be strengthened for all measures
to be listed as a requirement, as opposed to ‘should have’. Furthermore, we would like to reflect our response to Q14 that
additional trading hours will increase alcohol consumption and in turn increase harm. 
It may be worth the board assessing data from Scottish Ambulance Service and
Police Scotland to determine if there is an increase in call outs or anti-social
behavior at later closing times of premises.

LICENSING FORUM RECOMMENDATIONS TO LICENSING BOARD
DEVELOPMENT OF LICENSING BOARD'S NEW POLICY
1 Background
1.1 The Licensing Board's current Policy is effective until November 2023. A new Policy will
require to be published before the expiry of the existing Policy. 
1.2 The Licensing Board, when developing its new Policy must make sure that it promotes the
five licensing objectives. 
1.3 At the Licensing Board's meeting of 1 November 2022, the Licensing Board requested that
the Licensing Forum consider information ingathered as part of the Licensing Board's pre-
consultation exercise and thereafter make recommendations to it. These recommendations
are to include what the Licensing Board should consider when preparing its new Policy and
what localities should be considered in terms of overprovision. 
1.4 The Licensing Forum, at its meeting of 29 November 2022 agreed to delegate this task to a
working group. 
2 Membership of the Working Group
2.1 The Sub-Group Membership is as follows:
- Paul Smith, Representative for Entertainment Section of the Licensed Trade,
Chair
- Sergeant David Holmes, Police Scotland
- Chris Kelly, West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership
- Pauline Larkin, community resident
- Ronnie McCall, Pubwatch and trade
- Peter Clyde, Licensing Standards
- Michael McDougall providing secretariat support
3 Material considered by the Working Group
3.1 Working Group members agreed that its recommendations should be evidence-based. The
Working Group had regard to the following information when preparing its
recommendations:-
- Report from NHS and West Dunbartonshire HSCP, i.e. health statistics relating to
West Dunbartonshire and alcohol harm;
- Results from a survey carried out by West Dunbartonshire HSCP about alcohol
purchasing;
- Report from Police Scotland relating to alcohol-related crime statistics in West
Dunbartonshire;
- Statistics from Licensing Standards relating to the number of licensed premises
and their capacities and hours; and
- Responses to the Licensing Board's pre-consultation exercise that included
responses from trade, health organisations, and the local community.
Item 6
Appendix 5
Page 232

Page 1757

3.2 The working group also had regard to the views of its members, who come from diverse
backgrounds ranging from trade to health. 
4 Response
4.1 Members agreed to review overprovision and the terms of the Policy separately. In relation
to the terms of the policy Members agreed to focus on:
- Children and Young Persons’ access;
- Approach to licensed hours;
- Operation of outdoor areas including their terminal hour;
- Approach to occasional licences and extended hours certificates;
- Home deliveries of alcohol; and
- Safe home requirements.
4.2 Members further agreed that it was important that their recommendations to the
Licensing Board are evidence-based.
4.3 The Working Group met on two separate occasions and also discussed views via email.
5 Discussions
Overprovision - consideration of health benefits
5.1 Material submitted to the Working Group highlighted the harm that alcohol consumption
causes in West Dunbartonshire. It was noted that the Licensing Board’s current policy at
paragraph 23.10 narrates that “[t]he Board recognises the positive health benefits
associated with increased employment opportunities as a factor that applicants may use in
support of their application and a factor that may in appropriate circumstances rebut [the
presumption against the grant of an application]. 
5.2 The Health representative drew the Group’s attention to the pre-consultation response
from the West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership and others. In particular,
the statement that “[the respondents] do not consider the employment benefits to offset
the significant alcohol related health harms within West Dunbartonshire.” It was noted that
studies show that the societal costs cancel any economic benefit.1 It was clarified that there
is literature to support the contention that employment is associated with health benefits
(with reference being made to Waddell and Burton, “Is work good for your health and well-
being”).2 All members of the Working Group recognised that the opening of a licensed
premises may bring benefits to a local area. However, both health and trade
representatives voiced concerns that this should not necessarily follow that the Licensing
Board should look favourably upon such applications. It was agreed that the Licensing
Board should carefully consider the balancing of possible health benefits through
employment against the health harms.

854.

Page 1758

5.3 Trade representatives of the Working Group explained that while the grant of a new licence
may create employment opportunities, it may also see employment lost in other existing
premises. The Working Group agreed that the Licensing Board must be cognisant of the
likelihood that for every job that the grant of a licence may create, there is a real risk that
another job is lost and equal weight ought to be given to jobs lost as to jobs created. For
example, where an application is for a type of premises that does not replicate existing
provision in the area then the Board may be of the view that the grant of the application
may well create jobs however, where the application mirrors existing provision, the Board
should have regard to the jobs that may be lost as a result of the grant. 
Overprovision – types of premises and areas of overprovision
5.4 The Working Group reviewed the number and type of premises in West Dunbartonshire
(see Appendix A). 
5.5 All members agreed that the Board's current Policy whereby reliance was placed on
intermediate data zones as localities, continued to be fit for purpose and allowed for
statistics to be reviewed across West Dunbartonshire. 
5.6 The Working Group agreed that it was important that they satisfy themselves that there is a
dependable causal link between the availability of alcohol and an inconsistency with the
licensing objectives. 
5.7 Members were concerned at the level of alcohol-related harm evidenced by the statistics
provided by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The Working Group noted that 15 of the 18
intermediate data zones had two or more indicators that met or exceeded the Scottish
average. Moreover, Members noted that the Scottish average for the indicators had
increased from when the Licensing Board had last considered the matter of overprovision
albeit the Working Group were of the view that it was welcome that three of the 18
localities had two out of three indicators under the Scottish average (IZ05, IZ07, and IZ09).
The Working Group noted that the Licensing Board has previously utilised the Scottish
average as a tool to, in part, identify those areas where overprovision exists. This seemed to
the Working Group to be a reasonable and proportionate way to proceed.
5.8 The Working Group had continued to have real concern at the levels of alcohol-related in all
intermediate zones and was of the view that the Licensing Board should keep these areas
under review throughout the currency of the Board’s policy and through the Licensing
Forum invite updates from the NHS and other partner agencies. 
Occasional licences
5.9 Members of the Working Group were made aware of the recent case of Keasim Ltd -v- City
of Glasgow Licensing Board. Members were concerned at the continued high level of
occasional licences being issued in West Dunbartonshire. 
5.10 The Working Group noted the high use of occasional licences and the range of events and
premises licensed. For example, the working group was aware that occasional licences are
used for pop-up bars and shops, festivals, and "bridging the gap", i.e. where premises have
Page 234

Page 1759

not yet had their premises licence confirmed. The Group further noted that occasional
licences are not subject to the same scrutiny as premises licence applications. They noted
that this was at times appropriate but that the Licensing Board should take steps to make
sure that the operation of the occasional licences promotes the licensing objectives. 
Extended hours certificates
5.11 The Working Group agreed that while extended hours certificates were useful in allowing
licensed premises with permission for on-sales to stay open longer for special events, it
concluded that the current Policy of permitting one-hour additional trading to be dealt with
by way of delegated authority remained reasonable and proportionate. There was a
concern that a more permissive approach to extended hours certificates would place an
additional burden on police resources.
Licensed hours - on-sales
5.12 When considering the issue of licensed hours the working group had regard to the statistics
presented by Police Scotland. It was noted that statistics had been provided for the past
three years. Members further noted that the covid-19 pandemic will have had an impact on
these statistics. The level of alcohol-related crimes and disorder remained a concern for
members. Separately, members discussed the benefits of a differential terminal hour
between public house-type operations and nightclub-type operations in terms of the
dispersal of persons and differential pressure on late-night transport. 
Licensed hours - off-sales
5.13 Given the level of alcohol harm in West Dunbartonshire, members of the Working Group
were supportive of the Licensing Board's current policy whereby the terminal hour for off-
sales type premises is restricted to 2000 hours with a 2200 hours only granted where the
Licensing Board is satisfied that enhanced control measures are in place. 
Children and Young Persons' access
5.14 Members of the Working Group expressed a diverse range of views about the nature and
extent of Children and Young Persons' access to licensed premises. Some members
expressed concern concerning the wording of the Licensing Board's current Policy, which
could be seen as overly permissive. Concern was also expressed regarding the
normalisation of alcohol drinking and its impact on Children and Young Persons. Others
members highlighted the importance of family-friendly premises and, in particular, the
need to cater for tourists and visitors to West Dunbartonshire. 
5.15 The Working Group noted the importance of ensuring that Children and Young Persons are
only permitted access to suitable and appropriate premises.
Safe home requirements
Page 235

Page 1760

5.16 Having considered detail around the policy concept of “Safe Home”, all members agreed it
was, of course, important that members of staff working in licensed premises are safe.
Members discussed practical difficulties around imposing requirements on licensed
premises in this regard and also noted that the safety of workers in this context applied to a
wide range of industries. Regard was had to whether such a requirement was legal under
the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. 
Home deliveries
5.17 The Members of the Working Group discussed the rapid growth of home deliveries. There
was a concern as to how the purchase and delivery of this alcohol takes place. It was noted
that alcohol is increasingly purchased and consumed at home. Reference was made to the
survey carried out by the West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership (it was
noted that the sample was small). Members expressed a general concern around home
deliveries and were of the view that the Licensing Board should satisfy itself that premises
delivered alcohol in a manner consistent with the licensing objectives. 
Licensed outdoor areas
5.18 Members of the Working Group noted concerns expressed through the pre-consultation
exercise around the visibility of alcohol drinking and its impact on children and young
persons as well as the vulnerable. Differing views were expressed around the relevant
factors for determining the suitability of  an outdoor area. All agreed that the Licensing
Board should carefully examine applications that seek permission for outdoor drinking.
Regarding a suitable terminal hour, the Group agreed that 2200 hours remained
appropriate to protect residential amenity. However, the Board should listen to arguments
for exceptions where it can be demonstrated that the licensing objective of preventing
public nuisance will not be compromised.  
6 Recommendations
6.1 The Working Group agree to make the following recommendations to the Licensing Board:
• The Licensing Board consider the following in relation to its overprovision assessment:
(1) satisfy itself that it is appropriate in all the circumstances to grant a licence bearing
in mind the significant health harms being seen in areas of overprovision and whether
the health benefits from employment support that; and (2) have cognisance of the
wider impact that a grant of a licence in overprovision locality may have.
• That the Licensing Board should retain its evidence-led overprovision assessment. With
this in mind the Working Group was of the view that the material satisfies it that all
localities are overprovided for the exception of IZ05, IZ07 and IZ09.
• The occasional licence part of the policy should be kept under review pending any
legislative developments.
• The Licensing Board should develop a pool of licence conditions that can be attached to
the occasional licence depending on its purpose. These conditions should ensure that
the licensing objectives are complied with by the licence holder. Trade representatives
on the group noted that a pool of conditions would allow applicants to know what
conditions may be attached to the licence.
Page 236

Page 1761

• The terms of the current Policy in relation to extended hours certificates should be
retained.
• That licensed hours for on-sales type premises remain unchanged.
• The licensed hours for off-sale type premises remain unchanged and the requirement
for additional control measures for premises opening past 2000 hours should be
retained.
• After detailed discussion whereby a range of differing views were heard in full, the
Working Group concluded to recommend that the policy should allow for access where
the purpose is the consumption of food or attendance at a pre-booked function and
that terminal hour for Children and Young Persons should remain at 2200 hours
provided that the Licensing Board consider exemptions on a case by case where the
premises are catering for tourists.
• The Licensing Board consider, where appropriate, attaching conditions setting out its
requirements around Children and Young Persons access (provided that the conditions
are lawful and enforceable).
• The Licensing Board should develop a robust policy around home deliveries of alcohol
including a suite of conditions that the Board will consider attaching to licences where
permission for home deliveries is sought.
• The Group recommends that the Licensing Board review applications that seek
permission for outdoor drinking carefully, having cognisance of local geography. It also
recommends that a 2200 hours terminal hour remains appropriate in most cases.

Policy Title Licensing Board's Assessment of Overprovision
The aim, objective,purpose and intended out come of policy
The Licensing Board is required to assess the extent to which the Board
considers there to be overprovision of: (a) licensed premises, or(b)
licensed premises of a particular description, in any locality within the
Board's area. This policy is to promote the five licensing objectives
contained with the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. An overprovision policy
looks to tackle alcohol related health harms and public disorder. Should
the Board find that an area is overprovided for then a rebuttable
presumption against the grant of a licence will exist.
Service/Partners/Stakeholders/service users involved in the
development and/or implementation of policy.
The development of the policy is in two stages: (1) pre-consultation; and
(2)public consultation. The pre-consultation engaged a range of
stakeholders and gathered information from a range of sources including
health and police partners. The public consultation will take place over the
summer. The policy will impact on the licensed trade and residents of West
Dunbartonshire.

Relevance to Human Rights (HR) Yes
Relevance to Health Impacts (H) Yes
Relevance to Social Economic Impacts (SE) Yes
Who will be affected by this policy?
Should the Licensing Board find overprovision in a locality then a rebuttable presumption
against the grant of the licence will be introduced for certain types of premises, i.e. there
will be an onus on the applicant to show why the application will not prejudice the
licensing objectives. This will therefore impact on the residents of that locality through
restricting the grant of licensed premises and also the licensed trade.
Who will be/has been involved in the consultation process?
The development of the policy is in two stages: (1) pre-consultation; and (2) public
consultation. The pre-consultation engaged a range of stakeholders and gathered

2.1 It is recommended that the Licensing Board:-
a) considers and notes the Licensing Forum recommendations as
well as responses to its pre-consultation exercise;
b) agrees to authorise the Clerk to prepare a new Statement of
Licensing Policy with the suggested amends at paragraphs 4.16
to 4.21 for approval by the Licensing Board; and
c) considers whether are any other matters relating to the Statement
of Licensing Policy that it might wish to consult on.
3. Background
3.1 Section 6 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”) narrates
that:-
“Every Licensing Board must, before the beginning of each licensing
policy period a statement of their policy with respect to the exercise of
their functions under this Act during that period (referred to in this Act
as a “Licensing Policy Statement”).”
3.2 This Statement of Licensing Policy must promote the licensing objectives of:-
• preventing crime and disorder;
• securing public safety;
• preventing public nuisance;
• protecting and improving public health; and
• protecting children and young persons from harm.
3.3 Section 6 of the 2005 Act requires that the Licensing Board consult:-
Item 7
Page 247

Page 1772

• the Licensing Forum;
• if the membership of the Forum is not representative of the
interests of relevant groups, such persons as appear to the Board
to represent such groups;
• the relevant health board; and
• such other persons as the Board thinks appropriate.”
3.4 The Licensing Board must agree a new Statement of Licensing Policy by 5
November 2023. 
3.5 The Statement of Licensing Policy must also include an Assessment of
Overprovision. This is the subject of a separate report to the Licensing
Board. 
4. Main issues
4.1 The Licensing Board’s current Statement of Licensing Policy must be
considered in light of the now updated Guidance, views expressed by
respondents to the pre-consultation exercise, the changing licensing
landscape, and Licensing Board members’ views. When considering matters
for inclusion in the Statement of Licensing Policy the Licensing Board’s
essential function is to regulate the sale of alcohol as well as promote the
licensing objectives. It can neither trespass on matters that are regulated or
supervised by another statutory regime nor regulate matters outwith its
essential function.
Guidance issued by Scottish Ministers under section 142 of the 2005 Act
(“the Guidance”)
4.2 In January 2023, the Scottish Ministers issued updated statutory guidance to
licensing boards. Section 142 of the 2005 Act requires that the Licensing
Board must have regard to the Guidance when exercising its functions. The
statement of licensing policy requires to be reviewed to make sure that it
complies with the terms of the Guidance. Any departure from the Guidance
must be notified to the Scottish Ministers. 
Licensing Forum recommendations
4.3 At its meeting of 1 November 2022, the Licensing Board asked the Licensing
Forum to provide to it recommendations around the development of its policy
and overprovision assessment. 
4.4 The Licensing Forum at its meeting of 29 November 2022 delegated the task
to a working group including representatives from Health, Police, the local
community, and the licensed trade. The working group’s response is at
Appendix 1. Members will note that the group makes various
recommendations at paragraph 6 of its report. 
Page 248

Page 1773

4.5 The Licensing Forum report’s general position is that the current Statement of
Licensing Policy remains fit for purpose. The report recommendations
include:-
• the development of a pool of licence conditions that can be
attached to the occasional licence depending on its purpose. This
is help make sure that: (1) applicants have an awareness of what
conditions to expect; and (2) that the licensing objectives are
complied with;
• Children and Young Persons’ access terms should be reviewed to
make sure that they are suitably robust and is regulated by
conditions as required; and
• with the emergence of home deliveries of alcohol, the
development of a suitably robust policy regulating the home
delivery of alcohol.
Pre-consultation exercise
4.6 At its meeting of 1 November 2022, the Licensing Board instructed officers to
commence a pre-consultation exercise. Information was requested from
Police and Health partners. Invites to respond to a consultation were issued
to a broad range of stakeholders. Several responses were received. These
responses can be found at Appendix 2. It should be noted that a number of
these responses focused on overprovision only. This responses are
summarised as follows:-
A joint response from West Dunbartonshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership,
West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership, and NHS Greater
Glasgow and Clyde
4.7 The response was detailed and posited the following in relation to the current
policy:-
• it is worded and implemented in a way that is pro-alcohol related
tourism and requires to rebalanced so that it takes into account
the needs of local residents;
• significantly promotes the licensing objectives albeit it queries
whether the policy is implemented in practice;
• further consideration is required of the promotion of the public
health licensing objective;
• review what can be done to promote the licensing objective of
protecting children and young persons from harm with a number
of suggestions being made; and
• closer regulation of home deliveries of alcohol and occasional
licences.
Alcohol Focus Scotland
4.8 The respondent provided a note outlining their views on the general policy
and areas that require particular attention. 
Page 249

Page 1774

4.9 These areas are:- 
• how does the Licensing Board promote the licensing objectives;
• licensed hours;
• children and Young Persons access; 
• occasional licences; and
• how the Licensing Board interacts with its partners. 
Unite Union 
4.10 Unite responded to suggest that their Get Me Home Safely campaign should
be considered. This campaign focuses on ensuring hospitality staff can get
home safely. It is the Clerk’s legal view that imposing any such requirement
on licence holders is outwith the competency of the 2005 Act. 
Dunbartonshire Chamber of Commerce 
4.11 The respondent highlights the importance of the tourist industry around Loch
Lomond and the need to support the regeneration of "the corridor towns
such as Clydebank". It is suggested that the Licensing Board look to
introduce more flexibility to encourage operators to come to the area. 
Dumbarton East & Central Community Council 
4.12 The Community Council is largely supportive of the Licensing Board’s
current Statement of Licensing Policy. 
Summary 
Licensed hours 
4.13 The Licensing Board recently departed from its policy in relation to licensed
hours at a meeting of the Licensing Board on 1 September 2021 in relation to
a premises in Dumbarton. The Licensing Board granted the premises to
operate until 2am on Friday and Saturday in the Lounge area of the venue. 
4.14 There was no particular view expressed through the pre-consultation
exercise that a review of licensed hours was required. 
Licensing Board Members 
4.15 When proposing any matters to be considered as part of the Statement on
Licensing Policy, it is important that the matter is one that is within the
competency of the Licensing Board to regulate. 
Matters for consideration 
Page 250

Page 1775

4.16 It is proposed that officers will prepare a draft policy for Members to consider
at the meeting of 27 June that will maintain the framework of the existing
policy retained with revisals in relation to:- 
4.17 Chapter One: Update the introduction to policy and in particular refresh the
strategies that the Licensing Board may consider in the exercise of its
functions. 
4.18 Chapter Two: Review measures that the Licensing Board utilises to promote
the licensing objectives and consider best practice. 
4.19 Chapter Three: Review the terms of Children and Young Persons’ access,
propose a home deliveries policy framework, review the outdoor drinking
policy in light of the pursuit to covid-19 and the growth of outdoor drinking,
occasional licences and the development of a pool of conditions regulating
their operation, and the appropriateness of the outdoor drinking policy in light
of the growth of outdoor drinking. 
4.20 Chapter Six: Set out the Licensing Board’s procedure when processing
applications including how it deals with objections and to provide further
details around the operation of its Licensing Standards Officers. 
In general 
4.21 The Clerk will revise the Statement of Licensing Policy to note that the
Licensing Board will look to the Licensing Forum to keep it updated with
developments from primarily a health, police, and trade perspective so to
allow it to consider supplementary policy statements, to simplify the terms of
the Policy where possible, address any technical matters arising as well as
updating the draft to reflect good practice, and to reflect the terms of the
Guidance. 
5. People Implications 
5.1 The work involved in gathering evidence and preparing the Statement of
Licensing Policy has workload implications for the Board during 2023 but this
can be accommodated within existing staffing resources. 
6. Financial and Procurement Implications 
6.1 The Statement of Licensing Policy will allow applicants to assess whether
there are sufficient prospects of success should they proceed with an
application. Therefore a clear policy will assist applicants in avoiding
unnecessary expenditure on lodging and legal fees. 
6.2 A Policy that is legally unsound or based on erroneous material is more likely
to be legally challenged. Such a challenge, should it be successful, will leave
the Board liable to possibly substantial legal fees. A well-evidenced Policy
will diminish the chances of a successful legal challenge. 
Page 251

Page 1776

7. Risk analysis 
7.1 It is a legal requirement to adopt a new Policy. This requires to be done by
November 2023. Failure to do so would result in reputational loss for the
Board. Furthermore, the lack of a Policy could undermine the Board’s ability
to scrutinise applications. 
8. Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA) 
8.1 An EIA will be produced along with the draft Statement of Licensing Policy. 
9. Environmental Sustainability 
9.1 The Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005 places a duty on the
Council to identify and assess the environmental consequences of its
proposals. 
9.2 Under the provisions of the Local Government in Scotland Act 2003, the
Council has to discharge its duties in a way which contributes to the
achievement of sustainable development. In terms of the Climate Change
Act, the Council has a general duty to demonstrate its commitment to
sustainability and the community, environmental and economic impacts of its
actions. 
9.3 The information contained within this report has been considered under the
Act. However, no action is required as the Act does not apply to the matters
presented in this report. 
10. Consultation 
10.1 As outlined at paragraph 3.3, the 2005 Act defines the persons that the
Licensing Board must consult with as part of this exercise. The Clerk will
also take steps to consult with a wider audience by way of a public
consultation and engagement with stakeholders. 
11. Strategic Assessment 
11.1 In terms of the Council's Strategic Priorities, the purpose of licensing is to
make sure our communities are resilient and thriving.

LICENSING FORUM RECOMMENDATIONS TO LICENSING BOARD
DEVELOPMENT OF LICENSING BOARD'S NEW POLICY
1 Background
1.1 The Licensing Board's current Policy is effective until November 2023. A new Policy will
require to be published before the expiry of the existing Policy. 
1.2 The Licensing Board, when developing its new Policy must make sure that it promotes the
five licensing objectives. 
1.3 At the Licensing Board's meeting of 1 November 2022, the Licensing Board requested that
the Licensing Forum consider information ingathered as part of the Licensing Board's pre-
consultation exercise and thereafter make recommendations to it. These recommendations
are to include what the Licensing Board should consider when preparing its new Policy and
what localities should be considered in terms of overprovision. 
1.4 The Licensing Forum, at its meeting of 29 November 2022 agreed to delegate this task to a
working group. 
2 Membership of the Working Group
2.1 The Sub-Group Membership is as follows:
- Paul Smith, Representative for Entertainment Section of the Licensed Trade,
Chair
- Sergeant David Holmes, Police Scotland
- Chris Kelly, West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership
- Pauline Larkin, community resident
- Ronnie McCall, Pubwatch and trade
- Peter Clyde, Licensing Standards
- Michael McDougall providing secretariat support
3 Material considered by the Working Group
3.1 Working Group members agreed that its recommendations should be evidence-based. The
Working Group had regard to the following information when preparing its
recommendations:-
- Report from NHS and West Dunbartonshire HSCP, i.e. health statistics relating to
West Dunbartonshire and alcohol harm;
- Results from a survey carried out by West Dunbartonshire HSCP about alcohol
purchasing;
- Report from Police Scotland relating to alcohol-related crime statistics in West
Dunbartonshire;
- Statistics from Licensing Standards relating to the number of licensed premises
and their capacities and hours; and
- Responses to the Licensing Board's pre-consultation exercise that included
responses from trade, health organisations, and the local community.
Item 7
Appendix 1
Page 254

Page 1779

3.2 The working group also had regard to the views of its members, who come from diverse
backgrounds ranging from trade to health. 
4 Response
4.1 Members agreed to review overprovision and the terms of the Policy separately. In relation
to the terms of the policy Members agreed to focus on:
- Children and Young Persons’ access;
- Approach to licensed hours;
- Operation of outdoor areas including their terminal hour;
- Approach to occasional licences and extended hours certificates;
- Home deliveries of alcohol; and
- Safe home requirements.
4.2 Members further agreed that it was important that their recommendations to the
Licensing Board are evidence-based.
4.3 The Working Group met on two separate occasions and also discussed views via email.
5 Discussions
Overprovision - consideration of health benefits
5.1 Material submitted to the Working Group highlighted the harm that alcohol consumption
causes in West Dunbartonshire. It was noted that the Licensing Board’s current policy at
paragraph 23.10 narrates that “[t]he Board recognises the positive health benefits
associated with increased employment opportunities as a factor that applicants may use in
support of their application and a factor that may in appropriate circumstances rebut [the
presumption against the grant of an application]. 
5.2 The Health representative drew the Group’s attention to the pre-consultation response
from the West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership and others. In particular,
the statement that “[the respondents] do not consider the employment benefits to offset
the significant alcohol related health harms within West Dunbartonshire.” It was noted that
studies show that the societal costs cancel any economic benefit.1 It was clarified that there
is literature to support the contention that employment is associated with health benefits
(with reference being made to Waddell and Burton, “Is work good for your health and well-
being”).2 All members of the Working Group recognised that the opening of a licensed
premises may bring benefits to a local area. However, both health and trade
representatives voiced concerns that this should not necessarily follow that the Licensing
Board should look favourably upon such applications. It was agreed that the Licensing
Board should carefully consider the balancing of possible health benefits through
employment against the health harms.

854.
Page 255

Page 1780

5.3 Trade representatives of the Working Group explained that while the grant of a new licence
may create employment opportunities, it may also see employment lost in other existing
premises. The Working Group agreed that the Licensing Board must be cognisant of the
likelihood that for every job that the grant of a licence may create, there is a real risk that
another job is lost and equal weight ought to be given to jobs lost as to jobs created. For
example, where an application is for a type of premises that does not replicate existing
provision in the area then the Board may be of the view that the grant of the application
may well create jobs however, where the application mirrors existing provision, the Board
should have regard to the jobs that may be lost as a result of the grant. 
Overprovision – types of premises and areas of overprovision
5.4 The Working Group reviewed the number and type of premises in West Dunbartonshire
(see Appendix A). 
5.5 All members agreed that the Board's current Policy whereby reliance was placed on
intermediate data zones as localities, continued to be fit for purpose and allowed for
statistics to be reviewed across West Dunbartonshire. 
5.6 The Working Group agreed that it was important that they satisfy themselves that there is a
dependable causal link between the availability of alcohol and an inconsistency with the
licensing objectives. 
5.7 Members were concerned at the level of alcohol-related harm evidenced by the statistics
provided by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The Working Group noted that 15 of the 18
intermediate data zones had two or more indicators that met or exceeded the Scottish
average. Moreover, Members noted that the Scottish average for the indicators had
increased from when the Licensing Board had last considered the matter of overprovision
albeit the Working Group were of the view that it was welcome that three of the 18
localities had two out of three indicators under the Scottish average (IZ05, IZ07, and IZ09).
The Working Group noted that the Licensing Board has previously utilised the Scottish
average as a tool to, in part, identify those areas where overprovision exists. This seemed to
the Working Group to be a reasonable and proportionate way to proceed.
5.8 The Working Group had continued to have real concern at the levels of alcohol-related in all
intermediate zones and was of the view that the Licensing Board should keep these areas
under review throughout the currency of the Board’s policy and through the Licensing
Forum invite updates from the NHS and other partner agencies. 
Occasional licences
5.9 Members of the Working Group were made aware of the recent case of Keasim Ltd -v- City
of Glasgow Licensing Board. Members were concerned at the continued high level of
occasional licences being issued in West Dunbartonshire. 
5.10 The Working Group noted the high use of occasional licences and the range of events and
premises licensed. For example, the working group was aware that occasional licences are
used for pop-up bars and shops, festivals, and "bridging the gap", i.e. where premises have
Page 256

Page 1781

not yet had their premises licence confirmed. The Group further noted that occasional
licences are not subject to the same scrutiny as premises licence applications. They noted
that this was at times appropriate but that the Licensing Board should take steps to make
sure that the operation of the occasional licences promotes the licensing objectives. 
Extended hours certificates
5.11 The Working Group agreed that while extended hours certificates were useful in allowing
licensed premises with permission for on-sales to stay open longer for special events, it
concluded that the current Policy of permitting one-hour additional trading to be dealt with
by way of delegated authority remained reasonable and proportionate. There was a
concern that a more permissive approach to extended hours certificates would place an
additional burden on police resources.
Licensed hours - on-sales
5.12 When considering the issue of licensed hours the working group had regard to the statistics
presented by Police Scotland. It was noted that statistics had been provided for the past
three years. Members further noted that the covid-19 pandemic will have had an impact on
these statistics. The level of alcohol-related crimes and disorder remained a concern for
members. Separately, members discussed the benefits of a differential terminal hour
between public house-type operations and nightclub-type operations in terms of the
dispersal of persons and differential pressure on late-night transport. 
Licensed hours - off-sales
5.13 Given the level of alcohol harm in West Dunbartonshire, members of the Working Group
were supportive of the Licensing Board's current policy whereby the terminal hour for off-
sales type premises is restricted to 2000 hours with a 2200 hours only granted where the
Licensing Board is satisfied that enhanced control measures are in place. 
Children and Young Persons' access
5.14 Members of the Working Group expressed a diverse range of views about the nature and
extent of Children and Young Persons' access to licensed premises. Some members
expressed concern concerning the wording of the Licensing Board's current Policy, which
could be seen as overly permissive. Concern was also expressed regarding the
normalisation of alcohol drinking and its impact on Children and Young Persons. Others
members highlighted the importance of family-friendly premises and, in particular, the
need to cater for tourists and visitors to West Dunbartonshire. 
5.15 The Working Group noted the importance of ensuring that Children and Young Persons are
only permitted access to suitable and appropriate premises.
Safe home requirements
Page 257

Page 1782

5.16 Having considered detail around the policy concept of “Safe Home”, all members agreed it
was, of course, important that members of staff working in licensed premises are safe.
Members discussed practical difficulties around imposing requirements on licensed
premises in this regard and also noted that the safety of workers in this context applied to a
wide range of industries. Regard was had to whether such a requirement was legal under
the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. 
Home deliveries
5.17 The Members of the Working Group discussed the rapid growth of home deliveries. There
was a concern as to how the purchase and delivery of this alcohol takes place. It was noted
that alcohol is increasingly purchased and consumed at home. Reference was made to the
survey carried out by the West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership (it was
noted that the sample was small). Members expressed a general concern around home
deliveries and were of the view that the Licensing Board should satisfy itself that premises
delivered alcohol in a manner consistent with the licensing objectives. 
Licensed outdoor areas
5.18 Members of the Working Group noted concerns expressed through the pre-consultation
exercise around the visibility of alcohol drinking and its impact on children and young
persons as well as the vulnerable. Differing views were expressed around the relevant
factors for determining the suitability of  an outdoor area. All agreed that the Licensing
Board should carefully examine applications that seek permission for outdoor drinking.
Regarding a suitable terminal hour, the Group agreed that 2200 hours remained
appropriate to protect residential amenity. However, the Board should listen to arguments
for exceptions where it can be demonstrated that the licensing objective of preventing
public nuisance will not be compromised.  
6 Recommendations
6.1 The Working Group agree to make the following recommendations to the Licensing Board:
• The Licensing Board consider the following in relation to its overprovision assessment:
(1) satisfy itself that it is appropriate in all the circumstances to grant a licence bearing
in mind the significant health harms being seen in areas of overprovision and whether
the health benefits from employment support that; and (2) have cognisance of the
wider impact that a grant of a licence in overprovision locality may have.
• That the Licensing Board should retain its evidence-led overprovision assessment. With
this in mind the Working Group was of the view that the material satisfies it that all
localities are overprovided for the exception of IZ05, IZ07 and IZ09.
• The occasional licence part of the policy should be kept under review pending any
legislative developments.
• The Licensing Board should develop a pool of licence conditions that can be attached to
the occasional licence depending on its purpose. These conditions should ensure that
the licensing objectives are complied with by the licence holder. Trade representatives
on the group noted that a pool of conditions would allow applicants to know what
conditions may be attached to the licence.
Page 258

Page 1783

• The terms of the current Policy in relation to extended hours certificates should be
retained.
• That licensed hours for on-sales type premises remain unchanged.
• The licensed hours for off-sale type premises remain unchanged and the requirement
for additional control measures for premises opening past 2000 hours should be
retained.
• After detailed discussion whereby a range of differing views were heard in full, the
Working Group concluded to recommend that the policy should allow for access where
the purpose is the consumption of food or attendance at a pre-booked function and
that terminal hour for Children and Young Persons should remain at 2200 hours
provided that the Licensing Board consider exemptions on a case by case where the
premises are catering for tourists.
• The Licensing Board consider, where appropriate, attaching conditions setting out its
requirements around Children and Young Persons access (provided that the conditions
are lawful and enforceable).
• The Licensing Board should develop a robust policy around home deliveries of alcohol
including a suite of conditions that the Board will consider attaching to licences where
permission for home deliveries is sought.
• The Group recommends that the Licensing Board review applications that seek
permission for outdoor drinking carefully, having cognisance of local geography. It also
recommends that a 2200 hours terminal hour remains appropriate in most cases.

Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Introduction
The West Dunbartonshire Licensing Board is preparing its new statement of licensing policy. This document describes how the
Board will consider applications relating to the sale of alcohol and its general expectations around how licence holders will
operate alcohol licensed premises. We would like your views how the current policy operates and what areas the Board should
look at moving forward. 
The Board must make sure that the policy promotes the licensing objectives which are: 
- Preventing crime and disorder;
- Securing public safety;
- Preventing public nuisance;
- Protecting and improving public health; and
- Protecting children and young persons from harm. 
The policy addresses a wide range of issues that will impact the operation of licensed premises. These include but are not
limited to: licensed hours, children and young persons' access, management of outdoor areas, use of occasional (i.e.
temporary) licences and extended hours certificates, and whether there is an overprovision of licensed premises of a particular
type in a locality of West Dunbartonshire, for example pubs, bars, supermarkets, or convenience stores. 
The closing date for responding is 24/02/2023. 
Should you have any questions, please contact Michael McDougall, Depute Clerk to the Licensing Board at
michael.mcdougall@west-dunbarton.gov.uk

Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
What is the purpose of this consultation?
The Board adopted the current statement of licensing policy in November 2018. It will apply this until a new policy is
published. 
A new policy must be agreed upon and published by the Licensing Board by November 2023. It is a statutory requirement that
the Board consult before agreeing on the terms of its policy. As part of the development of the policy, the Board is carrying out
a pre-consultation with key stakeholders. This will help inform what matters will be part of the public consultation later in 2023. 
The Board wants to hear your views on the impact of the Board's policy over the past five years and what could be improved.
In particular, the Board is keen to listen to any evidence around the impact of COVID-19 on the licensed trade and invites
comments on whether there are any areas in particular that the Board should look at as part of the development of its new
policy. 
The Board is committed to engaging in a robust and thorough process to develop its new policy. Therefore, it hopes to hear
from a wide range of voices. 
You may find it useful to have read the Board's policy prior to completing this questionnaire. You can find the policy here.

Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Part 1: Introduction
This part of the policy introduces the reader to its purpose and background. You can view this part of the policy here. 
3. At paragraph 7, the policy refers to national strategies or local policies that the Board may have regard to. Are there any of
these that are no longer relevant or any not named that the Board should consider including here?
`
4. At paragraph 8, the policy notes that the Board recognises that tourism is a major contributor to parts of its area, particularly
the Local Lomond area. How does the Board's current policy impact on tourism? 
5. Is there anything the Board can consider doing to support the local tourist economy through its policy? 
6. Do you have any general comments in relation to Part 1 of the Board's policy? 
Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Part 2: The licensing objectives
This part of the policy sets out how the board will promote the licensing objectives. You can view this part of the policy here. 
7. To what extent do you agree that the Board's current policy promotes the licensing objectives? 
Very significantly   
Whilst it is welcomed to see a section dedicated to equalities, an updated statement including the following would enhance this section further
- an ongoing commitment to being aware of and responding to new evidence throughout the life of the new policy, in relation to protected characteristics 
- demonstrating an understanding/awareness that alcohol harm affects individuals differently, regardless of protected characteristics 
- commitment to publishing an Equalities Impact Assessment 
Currently there is no mention of inequalities within this section.  The association between inequalities and alcohol harm is well documented and the policy should recognise its role in regards to alcohol
availability in deprived areas.  In addition, the introduction of the Fairer Scotland Duty places a legal responsibility on public bodies to actively consider how they can reduce inequalities, including during
policy development. 
In our view, it is out with the scope of this policy to support the tourist economy and question if ‘tourism’ should continue to have its own heading within a new updated policy.  It would be more
favourable to broaden this heading to ‘economy’, which would recognise the wider impact the alcohol industry has on the local economy (positive and negative) beyond tourism. 
The current policy is worded (and implemented) in a manner that is pro alcohol related tourism.  There is evidence to show alcohol availability and its subsequent exposure is greater in areas where
there are more tourists.  Consideration must be given to local residents, particularly where there is higher than average alcohol related harm and in deprived areas, to not favour tourism to the detriment
of residents. 
Changing Scotland’s Relationship with Alcohol: A Framework for Action (2009), replaced by Alcohol Framework 2018.  In addition, there is Rights, Respect and Recovery 2018 and 2020 update,
Scotland’s Public Health Priorities (priority 4), West Dunbartonshire Alcohol and Drug Strategy 2020-25, West Dunbartonshire Community Planning Substance Use Prevention Strategy, Public Health
Scotland Strategic Plan 2022-2025, Fairer Scotland Duty, Ministerial Priorities (reduce the attractiveness, affordability and availability of alcohol).

Please let us know why you agree or disagree with the policy. 
8. Can the Board take any additional steps to help promote the licensing objectives? 
9. At paragraph 16.4, the policy sets out various recommendations around children and young persons' access. Do you think
that these recommendations are sufficient to protect children and young persons from harm? 
Yes 
X No
What are the reasons for your answer? 
It is recognised there is a desire to equally promote the five licensing objectives as outlined within the legislation. However, there is national evidence to demonstrate the lack of consideration given to
and impact of the Public Health Objective since its introduction in Scotland, including in areas where there is active Public Health involvement as we have here in West Dunbartonshire.  Since November
2018, Public Health have submitted 12 objections to licensing applications in West Dunbartonshire and none have been upheld on public health grounds.   
Paragraph 15.3 offers suggested measures to promote the public health objective.  It should be noted that these suggestions are not individually or combined, sufficient to offset the alcohol related
harms experienced locally. 
The written policy does promote the licensing objectives.  However, there is a lack of evidence of the policy in practice promoting the objectives eg. Applications have not been refused on the grounds of
each of the five objectives. 
Furthermore, only 5 applications were refused in the 5 years between November 2018 and 22 February 2023. Over the same period, 42 applications were granted. As of 31 March 2022, West
Dunbartonshire has 229 alcohol outlets (on and off trade), which means there is approximately one outlet for every 385 residents. 
No, the recommendations offered are not sufficient to protect children and young people.  
We recommend the following changes: 
• Paragraph 16.1 states ‘The Board welcomes applications’ we believe the word welcome gives the impression the policy wishes to encourage applications from premises that
accommodate children and young people. Therefore, we would recommend replacing ‘welcomes’ with ‘will consider’ 
• Paragraph 16.2 states ‘The Board encourages license holders to demonstrate both within their Operating Plan and in their everyday practice the measures which will be put in place
to protect children and young people from harm’. We believe this language must be stronger and suggest replacing ‘encourage’ with ‘requires’. 
• Paragraph 16.3 uses 'appropriate’ which is subjective and open to interpretation. This needs to be defined by the board, particularly in relation to staff checks in premises where
children may be present.
• Paragraph 16.4 (b) in relation to the position of gaming machines uses ‘preferably’ which is optional for the premises.  This paragraph would be stronger if ‘preferably’ was omitted
and children and young people would be subjected to gaming machines at all when entering and leaving premises.
• Suggest introducing a new measure where children and not allowed to be in close proximity of the bar area
The policy does not acknowledge that children and young people who are exposed to visible alcohol consumption with their environment may experience a degree of harm.  This is well
documented in evidence provided by the Children’s Parliament and Alcohol Focus Scotland.  Visibility of alcohol consumption normalises drinking culture to young people as potential future
drinkers with younger children being more affected.

Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Part 3: Licences
This part of the policy sets out how the board will consider various types of licence applications. You can view this part of the policy here. 
10. At paragraphs 18.2 to 18.4 the policy sets out the Board's approach to children and young persons' access to licensed premises, for example,
the standard terminal hour for children and young persons' access and situations when children and young persons will be permitted on licensed
premises. 
Does this access promote the licensing objective of protecting children and young persons' from harm? 
YES   X  NO
Please let us know why this access either promotes or does not promote this licensing objective. 
11. At paragraph 18.6, the policy discusses the Board's approach to home deliveries of alcohol. Does this approach deal with any issues that may 
We strongly support the goal of protecting children and young people, which we believe includes involving young people in discussions about the licensing system and shielding them from harm caused by alcohol and alcohol-related substances.
According to a recent Scottish study, alcohol abuse is the leading cause of harm among young people and increases the likelihood of developing an alcohol dependence as an adult. The following were the study's key findings: 
• 47% of children were exposed through off-label alcohol stores. 
• Off-sale alcohol stores were almost five times more likely to expose children in the most deprived areas than in the least deprived ones.
• Compared to children in the least deprived areas, those in the most deprived communities were almost three times more likely to be exposed to alcohol sales outlets.
• Compared to children from less deprived areas, 31% of children in deprived areas were exposed to off-sale stores within 500 meters of their homes.
• Children from all areas received between 22% and 32% of their exposure within 500 meters of schools; however, the percentage of this education that came from off-sale outlets increased with area deprivation. 
Because children have no control over what they are exposed to, limiting alcohol exposure is essential. We believe that the licensing policy should be primarily driven by this. 
Page 283

Page 2467

11. At paragraph 18.6, the policy discusses the Board's approach to home deliveries of alcohol. Does this approach deal with any issues that may
arise in terms of the licensing objectives? 
Yes   X No
If you have answered 'no', what other measures can the Board consider? 
12. At paragraph 18.7 to 18.13, the policy describes how the Board will licence outside drinking. Is the approach in the policy sufficient to promote
the licensing objectives of preventing public nuisance or any other licensing objective you think relevant? 
Yes  No
If you have answered 'no', what other measures can the Board consider? 
No, this approach does not deal with issues that may arise in regards to protecting public health and children and young people.  The policy could require that orders
cannot be left in designated safe locations and that delivery staff must receive the same level of training as those who sell or supply alcohol in licensed establishments. 
The Board could also look into the possibility of requiring online retailers to provide data on delivery refusal rates and sales and distribution areas.
Covid-19 has resulted in an increase in the number of ‘Outside Drinking’ applications.  Several temporary licenses were successfully submitted on ‘Public Health’ grounds to reduce airborne infection. 
However, the removal of social distancing legislation has not resulted in the suspension of these licenses.  In fact, the contrary is true, and a number of these temporary licenses have now been made
permanent.  This in turn has led to a significant increase in capacity locally.  To mitigate these circumstances, we propose variations to applications, both temporary and permanent, should be subject to the
same overprovision as new policies i.e. “create a rebuttable presumption against the grant of an application within these localities.
In addition to concerns in relation to increased capacity we also wish to highlight the impact outside drinking has had on children and young people.  As highlighted by the Scottish Government in Licensing
(Scotland) Act 2005 Section 142 Guidance for Licensing Boards (paragraph 12.5) “Children and young persons can be impacted by the drinking behaviours they observe in adults as well as being exposed
to the marketing and promotion of alcohol within a licensed premises.”  As such, we recommend the Licensing Board request the applicant demonstrate the measures which will be put in place to protect
children and young people from harm, particularly where the venue for the outdoor license is in proximity of to a venue a young person would attend e.g. school, sports facility, community centre.  The
Licensing Board has adopted a similar approach to this suggestion with the WDC Gambling Policy.

Page 2468

13. Paragraph 20 sets out the Board's approach to occasional (i.e. temporary) licences. Is the Board's general approach to dealing with occasional
licences fit for purpose? 
Yes  X No
What are your reasons for your answer? 
14. Paragraph 21 deals with how the Board will process and determine extended hours certificate applications. Does the Board's approach
promote the licensing objectives? 
Yes  No
What are the reasons for your answer? 
There is evidence to show the impact of policies regulating alcohol trading times on alcohol related harm.  Sanchez-Ramirez and Voaklander (2018) say that laws limiting when people can buy
and sell alcohol can help lower the number of injuries, homicides and crimes related to alcohol.  As such, we believe extended licensed hours will lead to increased alcohol consumption and in
turn increased alcohol harm.  This will place increasing pressure on the health and social care system, particularly hospitals, during certain times of the year that attract extended hours, such
as Christmas and New Year and we ask that this be taken into consideration.
The Board could develop and implement an Occasional License Supplementary Information Form in order to guarantee that the sale of alcohol under occasional licenses is appropriately constrained
to uphold the licensing objectives.  In some Board areas, occasional license holders are already required to demonstrate how they will promote the five licensing objectives and provide concrete
examples of how they plan to comply with each objective.

Page 2469

15. At paragraph 22 of the policy, the Board addresses those premises that are tenanted out and where the premises licence holder is the
landlord. Do you have any comments on the Board's approach here? 
16. In light of Unite's "Get me Home Safely campaign", the Board welcomes comments on how best the Board can support licence holders
in making sure that workers in the late night economy get home safely. 
Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Part 4: Overprovision
This part of the of the policy sets out the Board's approach to determining whether there is overprovision of licensed premises or licensed
premises of a particular description in any locality within West Dunbartonshire. The policy can be viewed here. 
Historically the Board has utilised Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics intermediate data zone (IDZ) geographies as the localities for this
purpose. These IDZs represent small geographical sections of the West Dunbartonshire area equivalent to an average of 4,000 household
residents, and allow for the easy compilation of various data, in consideration of which the Board makes its assessment on the provision
of licensed premises. 
No comments.
We have no suggestions on how best to support the campaign but we believe this should be extended to
patrons, who may be vulnerable.
Page 286

Page 2470

In considering whether there is overprovision, the Board must have regard to the number and capacity of licensed premises in a locality. 
The effect of an overprovision policy is to create a rebuttable presumption against the grant of an application within these localities for
the foregoing types of licensed premise. Each application still requires to be determined on its merits and there may be exceptional cases
in which an applicant is able to demonstrate that the grant of the application would not undermine the licensing objectives, or the
objectives would not be undermined if the applicants operating plan were to be modified. 
17. Should the Board continue to include the current localities within its assessment on overprovision? Please see the Board's policy at
paragraph 23.9 for details of these localities. 
x Yes  No
What are the reasons for your answer? 
18. What impact, if any, do you think the Board's overprovision policy has had on any of these localities? 
Current health data shows that alcohol related harm and alcohol specific deaths continue to be above the national average for West Dunbartonshire
as a local authority.  West Dunbartonshire has the 3rd highest alcohol specific deaths across Scotland’s council area. Furthermore, when alcohol
specific deaths were analysed for the year (2016-2020) against the baseline year (2002-2006) for each area. West Dunbartonshire has the second
greatest increase in Alcohol Specific Deaths in Scotland.
Additionally, all intermediate zones within West Dunbartonshire have at least 1 alcohol related health harm indicators (Alcohol Related Hospital
Admissions; Alcohol Specific Deaths; Alcohol Related Mental Health Admissions) above the national average with 16 of the 18 intermediate zones
having 2 or more, 
Unfortunately, to date, the Board has not rejected a single application on the grounds of its overprovision policy. 
Alcohol harms remain significant in WD and continue to rise.  In addition circumstances (C19) have arisen throughout the life of the current policy that meant availability/access and visibility of
alcohol consumption has increased (more outdoor areas with increased patron capacity, capacity increasing within off sales).   
Areas where data has improved, can’t attribute this to overprovision.  Better to have one area of overprovision and enforce this - intent Page 287

Page 2471

19. Should the Board consider identifying any other localities as being overprovided for in terms of licensed premises, and if so,
why? 
20. The Board considers there to be overprovision of the following types of licensed premises within 16 of the 18 localities that make
up West Dunbartonshire: 
- public houses;
- nightclubs;
- off-sales and local convenience stores; and
- supermarkets. 
Does this approach to overprovision continue to be appropriate? 
Yes x No
Please let us know why you think this. 
IZ14
Data shows that IZ14 now has all 3 alcohol related harm indicators above the Scottish average.  
The overprovision policy needs to take congnisance of the increase in provision through variation applications for additional capacity of patrons, square
meterage, outdoor space and additional hours as noted in the Licensing Act (Scotland) 2005 7.3 (aa) which states boards may give regards to other matters it
deems fit.

21. The Board's policy in relation to overprovision recognises the positive health benefits associated with increased employment
opportunities. This may be a factor that the Board has regard to when determining an application in an area of overprovision. 
Does it remain appropriate for the Board to continue to have regard to these benefits? 
Yes  x No
Please let us know why you think this. 
22. Should the Board consider licensed hours when considering if there is an overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises
of a particular description, in a locality? 
x Yes  No
Please let us know why you think this. 
We do not consider the employment benefits to offset the significant 
alcohol related health harms within West Dunbartonshire.  
Yes as this has an impact on access and availability. As per answer to
Q14
Page 289

Page 2473

23. Are there any other matters that the Board should consider when considering matters relating to overprovision? 
Having a robust overprovision statement is imperative given the Alcohol related health harm within West Dunbartonshire.

Licensing Policy Pre-Consultation 
Part 5: Licensed hours
This part of the policy narrates the Board's general policy about licensed hours for both off-sales and on-sales premises. You
can view this part of the policy here. 
24. The Board will generally consider 10am to 8pm as appropriate licensed hours for off-sales with the additional hours of 8pm
to 10pm only given where the applicant can demonstrate suitable enhanced control measures are in place. Does this
approach promote the licensing objectives? 
x Yes   
No
Please let us know why you support or oppose this policy position. 
25. In relation to premises offering no significant entertainment facilities, such as public houses, hotel bars, and members
clubs, the Board considers a terminal hours of 12midnight on Sunday to Thursday and 1am on Friday and Saturday to be
appropriate. Do you agree? 
Yes   
No
Please let us know why you either support or oppose these policy hours. 
26. In relation to premises offering significant entertainment facilities, such as nightclubs, the Board considers a terminal hour
of 1am on Monday to Wednesday and 3am on Thursday to Sunday to be appropriate. Do you agree? 
Yes   
No
Please let us know why you either support or oppose these policy hours. 
We note and support the enhanced control measures within the policy.  However, this could be strengthened for all measures
to be listed as a requirement, as opposed to ‘should have’. Furthermore, we would like to reflect our response to Q14 that
additional trading hours will increase alcohol consumption and in turn increase harm. 
It may be worth the board assessing data from Scottish Ambulance Service and
Police Scotland to determine if there is an increase in call outs or anti-social
behavior at later closing times of premises.
