Licensed Property News: BBPA plans to rid pubs of red tape lunacy

Existing landlords or people looking to buy a pub will be pleased to hear that the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) is urging the government to "stick to its guns" on planning reforms that will lead to a reduction in red tape for those seeking to make minor improvements to their premises.
At present public houses and breweries often have to endure long and costly delays when attempting to make often fairly small alterations.
But, at the same time as the BBPA submits evidence on the National Planning Policy Framework, the body is putting pressure on Westminster to follow through with proposed changes to the existing process.
BBPA chief executive Brigid Simmonds said the government is correct to pursue a reforming agenda as it is crucial to the UK’s growth and many jobs depend on it.
"We need a 'can do' culture from councils - and this means a presumption in favour of approving improvements or expansions of small and sustainable businesses like breweries or pubs, whilst of course taking on board legitimate development control concerns," she stated.
Last month Michelin Guide editor Rebecca Burr said that despite gloomy economic circumstances, the pub trade is still flourishing for many, adding “what recession?”

BBC News - Scottish government reintroduces alcohol pricing bill
Plans to reintroduce a minimum price for a unit of alcohol in Scotland are set to be announced by ministers.
Official figures have suggested Scots drink more than people in other parts of the UK.
A first attempt by the SNP to push through a similar price proposal failed during the last parliament.
MSPs rejected the idea before the May election, but after the SNP's majority win at that poll the fresh plan is set to become law before next summer.
The debate around minimum pricing has proved one of the most contentious issues the Scottish Parliament has had to discuss.
During the first attempt to bring forward the legislation, the SNP minority government proposed setting the minimum price at 45p per unit.
That would have resulted in;
- an own-brand bottle of vodka increasing in price from from £8.35 to £11.85
- a two-litre bottle of cider going up from £1.20 to £3.75
- and the cost of a bottle of wine moving from £3.75 to £4.20
The 45p proposal was rejected, and it is unclear at this stage what new price the government will put forward.
It is understood a figure will be suggested in the new year, after more research is carried out.
Scotland's health secretary, Nicola Sturgeon, promised her party's annual conference on 21 October that a new minimum pricing on alcohol bill would be back before MSPs "within the month".
Ms Sturgeon is expected to speak about the pricing plan when she visits Glasgow's Gartnavel Royal Hospital, where there is a specialist unit to tackle alcohol misuse.
The Scottish government has estimated that the country's alcohol problems cost £3.56bn each year - or £900 for every adult.
