Guidance for Residents

In accordance with the Licensing Act 2003, the Royal Borough will take into account the views of local people and businesses when someone applies for a licence or certificate to carry out a licensable activity such as selling alcohol, providing regulated entertainment and providing late night refreshment.

Intertested Parties

To have your say, you must be an "Interested Party" for the premises concerned. This means you must be either:

• A person living in the vicinity of the premises
• A body (e.g. a residents association) representing people that live in that vicinity
• A person involved in a business in the vicinity of the premises
• A body (e.g. a trade association) representing people involved in businesses in the vicinity of the premises.

Making Representations

If you think the granting of a new licence, or the changing of an existing licence or certificate would undermine any of the following licensing objectives:-

• the prevention of crime and disorder;
• public safety;
• the prevention of public nuisance;
• the protection of children from harm;

you can make representations (objections) to the Royal Borough. You can also ask for a licence or certificate to be reviewed if problems occur which undermine the licensing objectives. You should send your representations to the address below.
