Part 4.Special Procedures

Section 74 - Revocation of approval: notification requirements

145.This section requires a local authority to give notice to a person in respect of a revocation, or a proposed revocation, of a premises or vehicle approval. The local authority must also take reasonable steps for bringing the notice to the attention of anyone it thinks likely to be affected by the it (for example, licence holders listed as operating from the affected premises or vehicle). This is intended to avoid a situation where a licence holder continues to work at a premises or vehicle that they are not aware is no longer approved - as if they were to do so, they would be committing a criminal offence.
