Representations against an application

Any representations against an application that are made must have reference to the 4 licensing objectives.

The prevention of crime and disorder

This relates to any crime, disorder or anti-social behaviour at the premises or related to the management of the premises. A licence holder/applicant cannot generally be held responsible for the conduct of individuals once they leave the premises;

Public safety

This relates to the safety of the public on the premises, i.e. fire safety, electrical circuitry, lighting, building safety or capacity, and first aid.

Prevention of public nuisance

This can relate to issues such as hours of operation, noise emanating from the premises, vibrations, lighting and litter.

Protection of children from harm

This relates to protecting children from the activities carried out on the premises whilst they are there. The law already provides special protections for children under 18 to buy alcohol.

Please also read How to make a representation for further information.
