14  Integrating Strategies

14.1  The Licensing Authority has endeavoured to secure proper integration with local strategies such as local crime prevention, planning, transport, tourism, race equality schemes and cultural strategies.

14.2  There are a number of wider issues which may need to be given due consideration when dealing with applications.   These may not directly relate to the four licensing objectives, but may impact upon them.   However, on any application under the Licensing Act the four licensing objectives will remain paramount in the application of this policy.

14.3  Where appropriate, the Licensing Authority will have regard to:

• local crime prevention strategies;
• needs of the local tourist economy;
• cultural strategy for the area;
• employment situation in the area and the need for new investment and   employment where appropriate;
• planning considerations that might affect licensed premises;
• the duty on Public Authorities to eliminate unlawful discrimination; and to promote equality of opportunity and good relations between persons of different racial groups.
• the Economic Development Strategy
• the policy on cumulative impact.
