Section 152: Combined licence
413.The general position for premises licensing is that premises may only be subject to one premises licence at a time. Subsection (1) provides for this. The effect of this requirement is to limit the principal activity on the premises to the provision of facilities for a particular type of gambling activity.
414.However, there are some exceptions to this approach. One exception is set out in this section. Subsections (2) and (3) provide that a betting track may be subject to more than one premises licence, but that no more than one premises licence can operate in relation to any area of the track. Subsection (4) provides that where a particular area of a track is already subject to a premises licence, and a person wishes to apply for a licence to offer another type of gambling activity in that area, an application must be made to vary the original licence under section 187. The new licence for the track can only be granted at the same time as, or after, the original licence has been varied. Other sections in this Part give permission for particular kinds of premises licence to authorise more than one type of activity.
