The policy provides that the appropriate number of SEV’s within the Council borough to be set at 0. All applications for a new SEV licence will be considered on their own merits, however the policy states it will be strictly applied and licences will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.

Alongside the new policy, the Council have further adopted a standard set of licence conditions to be automatically imposed on any new SEV licence, if granted. Both documents are set to be in force until 2022.”
