The Home Office has produced guidance to accompany the reforms to the licensing of lap dancing clubs introduced by Section 27 of the Policing and Crime Act 2009, which allow local authorities to regulate lap dancing clubs and other sexual entertainment venues as sex establishments under Schedule 3 to the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982.

The new provisions, which will give local authorities more power to control the number and location of lap dancing clubs and similar establishments, came into effect on 6th April 2010 in England and will become effective on 8th May 2010 in Wales.

The Guide covers:-

Meaning of Sexual Entertainment Venue

Spontaneous Entertainment

Premises that are not Sexual Entertainment Venues

Amendments to the Licensing Act 2003
