The S182 Statutory Guidance to the Licensing Act 2003:

13.58 Care will be needed to ensure that only necessary, proportionate and reasonable licensing conditions impose any restrictions on these events. Where there is any indication that events are being deterred by licensing requirements, statements of licensing policy should be re-visited with a view to investigating how the situation might be reversed. Broader cultural activities and entertainment may also be affected. In developing their statements of licensing policy, licensing authorities should also consider any views of the local authority's arts committee, where one exists.

There a difference between the words -
statements of licensing policy should be re-visited with a view to investigating how the situation might be reversed.

And the words that this council have chosen to use in their SOLP -

the policy may be reviewed with a view to investigating how the situation may be remedied.
