The review helps the Council to look at an existing premises licence and decide whether its conditions are adequate to meet the four licensing objectives defined under the Licensing Act 2003.Any interested party or responsible authority may make a representation in support of a review.

Who is the service for?

You can apply for a review if you are a responsible authority or if you are:

a person living in the vicinity of the premises
a body representing persons who live in that vicinity
a person involved in a business in the vicinity of the premises
a body representing persons involved in these businesses.

On what grounds can you apply for a review?

All information, including in your diary of incidents, must relate to one or more of the statutory licensing objectives.
Go to related pages for information about the four licensing objectives and the council's Licensing Policy.
The Licensing Authority will reject any request for a review that is " frivolous, vexatious or repetitious of matters already considered"

How to apply for a review?

Any application for a review must be made in writing on the prescribed application form for a review (PDF 86.5KB), which you can download, or we can send you a copy.
You can ask a friend, solicitor or elected member to submit a review application, or any representation on your behalf, providing you say who you are.
Once accepted, your application will be made public and consulted upon for 28 days. The Council must send it to the licence holder to give them an opportunity to respond appropriately. We will remove unnecessary personal data, but your name and address must be disclosed to all parties.
A Licensing Sub-Committee hearing to review the licence will take place in the month following the consultation period. You will be invited to attend and address the hearing, as will the licence holder.

What will you need to send to us?

copies of all supporting documents, including a diary of incidents, such as the noise record form below
on the same day you must send a copy of the form which has your name and address on it to the holder of the premises licence or club premises certificate in question
you also need to send a copy of your application form and documents to each of the seven Responsible Authorities, including the Police and Fire Authority.

The Council will advertise the fact that you have asked for a review together with the reasons and inform other responsible authorities such as the police and fire authority to see if there are other parties interested in making representations. Within 20 working days of the end of that period, the licensing authority must hold a hearing where you put your case forward.
