You can ask for a review of a premises if you believe that any of the 4 licensing objectives are not being met.
The 4 licensing objectives are:
- the prevention of crime and disorder
- public safety
- the prevention of public nuisance
- the protection of children from harm
If you are making the application and you are not a responsible authority, we must check that the complaint is valid. We will not review applications which we believe are frivolous, vexatious or repetitious.
Frivolous – these lack seriousness, a complaint must be serious and must relate to one or more of the licensing objectives.
Vexatious – arising because of a dispute between businesses.
Repetitious – if a review application is identical or substantially similar in grounds to an earlier review or representation on an application for the same premises and a reasonable amount of time has not passed since the earlier consideration.
In this case a reasonable amount of time is 12 months.
If we feel an application is frivolous, vexatious or repetitious we will reject the application we will inform you of the reasons for the decision.
There are no rights of appeal against the decision other than an application for judicial review to the High Court.
If we believe the application to be valid, we will display a notice of the application for review on or near the premises for 28 days.
During this time, any responsible authority or other person can make a representation about the application.
If we receive any representations our licensing committee will meet to decide on the application.
