Hounslow Council's Statement of Licensing Policy review in 2025 aimed to strengthen its connection with the Hounslow Local Plan.

In July 2025, Hounslow Council's Licensing & General Purposes Committee discussed a review of its Statement of Licensing Policy (SoLP), which aimed to strengthen its connection with the Hounslow Local Plan. The draft SoLP 2025 built upon previous changes and sought to link licensing with other council initiatives, a report to the committee said.

The council was required to review its Statement of Licensing Policy every five years under the Licensing Act 2003, with the existing policy due to expire in October 2025. The committee considered retaining, modifying, or removing the 'Cumulative Impact Area' for licensed premises, following an updated research report and public consultation.
