Overview

Part 2 – Licensing

Amendments of the Licensing Act 2003

Section 111: Reducing the burden: other situations

325. Subsections (2) to (6) amend provisions in relation to a range of discrete processes in the Licensing Act 2003 to reflect the introduction of this measure. The basis on which a licensing authority makes decisions in those processes is correspondingly modified. These are the processes governing a licensing authority’s decision to:

a.

send a premises user a counter notice following police objections on a temporary event notice,

b.

reject an application for a personal licence following police objections,

c.

reject an application for renewal of a personal licence following police objections, and

d.

revoke a personal licence following police objections in relation to new convictions coming to light.

326. These also amend the basis on which a licensing authority makes decisions in relation to the steps it must take at a review following a closure order.

327. Subsections (7) to (9) make provision for the application of these amendments.
