Cumulative Impact Assessment (CIA) framework
Westminster City Council is overhauling its licensing policy, which includes how licensed premises are assessed for cumulative impact.
Westminster City Council is currently overhauling its licensing policy, which governs licensed premises and includes assessments of their cumulative impact on issues such as crime, disorder, and public nuisance. The council aims to re-publish the updated policy by October 2026, modernising regulations that have been in place for over 15 years. This review integrates provisions for Martyn's Law (Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) and addresses Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).
The updated licensing policy, which will incorporate these changes and streamline regulations, is scheduled for re-publication by October 2026. This policy aims to bolster safety, champion equality, and contribute to the council's Net Zero targets. No further meetings or discussions specifically on the Cumulative Impact Assessment framework are currently scheduled.
