The Licensing Act 2003 is the main legislation governing the sale and supply of alcohol, regulated entertainment (such as live music, films and performances) and late-night refreshment (hot food or drink sold between 11pm and 6 am). It introduced a unified licensing system administered by local authorities, requiring businesses and organisations carrying out licensable activities to obtain the appropriate licences or permissions.

 

All licensing decisions must promote the Act’s four licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm. The Act establishes provisions for premises licences, personal licences, club premises certificates and temporary event notices, and gives licensing authorities powers to impose conditions, review licences and take enforcement action where necessary.

If a hearing is necessary because of the comments we receive, then the hearing will be heard by a Licensing Sub Committee. Anyone who made valid representation will be invited to attend the hearing.

Any representations made against a licensing application must be on the grounds that the granting of the licence would undermine one or more of the four licensing objectives listed below:

• Protection of children from harm
• Prevention of crime and disorder
• Public safety
• Prevention of public nuisance.

It is important that you give valid reasons to help support your representation. For guidance on how to make a representation, please see the leaflet “How to Make a Representation” or contact the Licensing Department. 

All representations are forwarded to the applicant or their agent to communicate with individuals to see if an amicable agreement can be made therefore, your name and contact details will be disclosed to them for this purpose. If you make a valid comment, your name and address will be made public as part of the record of hearing, should a hearing be necessary.
