I've only just become aware of this consultation, which I've no doubt some readers will be very keen to respond to. The deadline is this Friday. See www.enfield.gov.uk/consultations/licensing-policy-statement . And note the mention of Cumulative Impact Zones in Bowes and Palmers Green.

Start date:
    16 May 2024

    12 July 2024

Details

Every five years the Council is required to review, consult on and re-publish its Licensing Policy Statement. We have prepared a draft Licensing Policy Statement for consultation.

Has anyone understood the impact of PG being listed as a new Cumulative Impact Zone?

This is one of the most unhelpful "consultations" I've seen.  Isn't there a duty to make consultations more understandable? The draft is complex for legal reasons, but few but lawyers will be able to understand the overall impact. The proposal to include PG and Bowes in the category of areas covered by Cumulative Impact is covered by this:-


ANNEX 2-7 CUMULATIVE IMPACT POLICY
THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED IN A SEPARATE DOCUMENT FOR
CONSULTATION PURPOSES AND WILL BE INCLUDED IN THESE ANNEXES
POST CONSULTATION

So that's all clear then.

... and checking the council web site reveals nil regarding the "ANNEX 2-7 CUMULATIVE IMPACT POLICY
THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED IN A SEPARATE DOCUMENT FOR
CONSULTATION PURPOSES" . 
So that's no separate document and no information. To be fair, this all started on16 May under a previous government when nothing worked.

The Cumulative Impact Assessment has now been added, but I don't think it was there before the deadline. See www.enfield.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/60338/Cumulative-Impact-Zone-Review-document.pdf

However the deadline for comment appears to be 11 AUGUST

The cumulative impact assessment definitely wasn't there when I started this thread (and even now is clearly an unfinished draft, missing the maps for Palmers Green and Bowes).

And the deadline was definitely 12th July - I just copied that from the council website. They must have realised that they hadn't publicised this sufficiently early - I only saw it two days in a tweet posted two days before the deadline.

The figures in the cumulative impact assessment don't seem to take account of the variation in the size of the zones. The Edmonton zone goes all the way from the border with Tottenham to Ponders End - it's far larger than the other zones.

What we need is a layman's explanation of what the proposed changes amount to and what impact the council hopes they will have. Perhaps we could ask the councillors for PG and Bowes wards for an explanation?
