47

• (1) For the purpose of determining the number, nature and distribution of licensed premises in new towns, there shall be a committee for each new town or, if it appears to the Secretary of State that by reason of the proximity of any two new towns it is expedient that one committee should be constituted for them and the Secretary of State by order so directs, for those two new towns.

• (2) Such committees shall be constituted, and their procedure shall be regulated, in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 3 to this Act.

• (5) Where a committee are constituted for two new towns, the accommodation and services mentioned in subsection (4) above shall be provided by such one of the development corporations concerned, or partly by one and partly by the other, as the corporations may from time to time agree or, in default of such agreement, as the Secretary of State may determine ; and the expenses mentioned in that subsection shall be defrayed by the development corporations in such proportions as may be so agreed or determined ; and references in that subsection to the development corporation shall be construed accordingly.

General duties of committee

48

It shall be the duty of every committee constituted under section 47 of this Act, to consider from time to time, having regard to the existing circumstances of the area for which the committee are constituted and to the proposed development of that area, the requirements of the area as respects licensed premises, the accommodation and amenities which should be provided thereat and the facilities which should be available thereat for obtaining both alcoholic liquor and meals and other refreshments, including the provision of accommodation for the consumption therein of beverages other than alcoholic liquor and in which the consumption of alcoholic liquor is prohibited.

Submission and approval of proposals by committee

49

• (1) In the light of their consideration of the matters mentioned in section 48 of this Act, a committee constituted under section 47 of this Act shall from time to time formulate proposals specifying the places in the area for which the committee are constituted at which licensed premises should be established; and the proposals shall specify the way in which any licensed premises established in accordance with the proposals should be licensed, and shall contain provisions (in this Part of this Act referred to as " supplementary provisions ") as to the type of accommodation, amenities and services to be provided in premises being or comprising any such licensed premises, including, unless the committee in any particular case otherwise decide, provisions for the service of meals and of refreshments other than alcoholic liquor.

• (2) References in this Part of this Act to specifying the way in which licensed premises should be licensed are references to specifying—

• (a) what type of licence should be granted in respect of the premises, and

• (b) what descriptions of alcoholic liquor should be authorised to be sold under that licence,

and references in this Part of this Act to the licensing of premises in accordance with proposals shall be construed accordingly.

• (3) The committee shall submit proposals formulated under this section to the Secretary of State, together with such plans and other matter explanatory of the nature and effect of the proposals as the committee think fit or the Secretary of State may, in any particular case, require.

• (4) Where a committee have submitted proposals to the Secretary of State under this section, they shall publish by advertisement in each of two successive weeks in one or more local newspapers circulating in the area for which the committee are constituted, and may publish, in such further manner as the committee may determine, a notice that they have submitted the proposals, naming a place at which copies of the proposals and of the plans and explanatory matter submitted to the Secretary of State may be seen at all reasonable hours, and stating the time, not being less than 28 days, within which and the manner in which objections to the proposals may be made to the Secretary of State.

• (5) If no objection to the proposals is made to the Secretary of State within the time and in the manner stated in the notice, or if all objections so made are withdrawn, the Secretary of State may, if he thinks fit, confirm the proposals, but, if objection is so made and not withdrawn, he shall afford to any person making an objection an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed for the purpose by the Secretary of State or, if it appears to the Secretary of State that the matters to which the objection relates are such as to require investigation by public local inquiry, he shall cause a public local inquiry to be held, and after considering any objection not withdrawn and the report of the person before whom the objector appeared or of the person holding the inquiry, as the case may be, he may confirm the proposals.

• (6) Subsections (2) to (8) of section 210 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (which relate to local inquiries held under that section) shall apply to an inquiry held under this section as they apply to inquiries held under that section.

• (b) to confirm the proposals subject to modifications so far as they relate to the situation of proposed licensed premises;

• (c) to confirm the proposals subject to the modification of any supplementary provisions contained in the proposals or to the addition of any supplementary provisions which the committee could have included in the proposals;

• (a) that the premises are fit and convenient for the purpose, or in the case of an application for the provisional grant of a new licence or for the renewal of such a provisional grant, that if the premises had been actually constructed in accordance with the plans submitted to the licensing board they would be fit and convenient as aforesaid;
