EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of these Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Licensing Act 2003 (Premises licences and club premises certificates) Regulations 2005 (SI 2005/42) (“the licences and certificates regulations”) and the Licensing Act 2003 (Permitted Temporary Activities) (Notices) Regulations 2005 (SI 2005/2918) (“the permitted temporary activities regulations”).
The purpose of the amendments is to prescribe the form of:
an application for the grant or variation of a premises licence,
an application for the grant of a provisional statement,
an application for the minor variation of a premises licence or club premises certificate,
an application for the grant or variation of a club premises certificate, and
a temporary event notice.
The forms prescribed in these Regulations replace the forms prescribed in the licences and certificates regulations in relation to the grant or variation of a premises licence, the grant of a provisional statement, the minor variation of a premises licence or club premises certificate and the grant or variation of a club premises certificate.
The form of temporary event notice prescribed in these Regulations replaces the notice prescribed in the permitted temporary activities regulations.
The need to prescribe revised versions of these forms is as a consequence of amendments to the Licensing Act 2003 (“the 2003 Act”) by the Live Music Act 2012 (“the 2012 Act”). In particular, the 2012 Act amended Schedule 1 to the 2003 Act to remove the provision of entertainment facilities from the definition of what constitutes the provision of regulated entertainment under that Act. Therefore, references to the provision of entertainment facilities in each of the previous versions of the forms are required to be removed.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on businesses, charities, voluntary bodies or the public sector is foreseen.
