Latest applications for licences and making a representation
On this page you can find all the applications for new or varied premises licences and club premises certificates.
If we do not get any objections to the applications then we must grant the application.
If objections are raised (and not resolved) the Licensing Sub Committee will decide whether to grant the application based on the evidence presented by the relevant parties.
Making representation
Representations must be in writing and received by The Licensing Authority within 28 days beginning on the day after the application was given to us. Your representation must address one or more of the licensing objectives, which are:
