View or comment on licensing applications

Representation or review

To make a representation on a new application or request a review of an existing licence or certificate, you must be able to show that it would undermine one or more of the four licensing objectives:

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

Please note that in cases of a review an individual or group would make an application for a review and anyone wishing to make representations for or against that review application should do so using the representation form and not the review application form.

Please use the guidance notes for a full explanation of the process, this includes a template representation form to make any representations on a licensing application or representations on an application for a review.
