Current Premises Licence Applications

Current applications for new and variation of premises licences under the Licensing Act 2003

Representations

Any resident or local business, or someone acting on their behalf such as a residents association, trade association or elected councillor, may make 'representations' or comments to the council about applications for new licences, variations or reviews.

Comments may be positive or negative, but will only be considered 'relevant' by the council if they relate clearly to the licensing objectives. Councils may also reject comments considered to be 'frivolous' (not serious or time-wasting) or if they relate to personal disputes between businesses.

If the council considers your reasons for making representations are relevant, it will arrange a hearing to consider the evidence. You - or someone representing you - will be invited to the hearing to explain your concerns.
