Guidelines for Interested Parties
If you do make a representation you will be expected to attend a meeting of the Licensing Act Sub Committee and possibly any subsequent appeal proceedings that might follow. If you do not attend the hearing the committee will consider your representation but may attach less weight to it as your evidence cannot be tested.
You have 28 days after an application is submitted to the Licensing Authority to lodge your representation.
An interested party is someone who lives in the vicinity or a body representing people living in the vicinity. It can also be a business in the vicinity or a body representing businesses. Vicinity is not helpfully defined however the Statutory Guidance to the Act attempts to assist licensing authorities to determine what is ‘vicinity’ by considering whether an ‘individual’s residence or business is likely to be directly affected by disorder and disturbance occurring or potentially occurring on those premises or immediately outside the premises.’
Your representation must be made in writing to the Licensing Manager and must relate to one or more of the licensing objectives:
- The prevention of crime and disorder
- The prevention of public nuisance
- Public safety
- The protection of children from harm
If your comments do not relate to any of these objectives it cannot be considered.
Your representation will be passed to the applicant to allow them the opportunity of addressing your concerns and a hearing will be arranged with the Licensing Authorities Licensing Sub Committee.
All representation's including yours will be published in the report available to the Licensing Sub Committee, which will be publicly available.
