(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order contains transitional and saving provisions in respect of the provisions of the Policing and Crime Act 2009 relating to sexual entertainment venues. Broadly speaking, existing lap dancing clubs with a premises licence or club premises certificate under the Licensing Act 2003, under which it is lawful to provide such entertainment, will continue to be able to operate for one year after local authorities adopt the 2009 provisions or, if later, the determination of any application submitted during that year.
