You can make a representation against an application for a new licence or a variation of an existing licence. For problems with premises that are already licensed - when other attempts to resolve the problem have failed - an application can be made to the council for a review of that licence.
Representations and reviews must be relevant to one of the 4 licensing objectives:
- Prevention of crime and disorder
- Public safety
- Prevention of public nuisance
- Protection of children from harm
Objections
Any member of the public or a responsible authority [PDF 16KB] can make a representation against an application.
This must be made in writing and submitted within 28 days of the application being received by completing the representation form [PDF 106KB].
