Temporary Event Notice objections
Only the Police and Environmental Health may object to a TEN, and only on grounds related to 1 or more of the licensing objectives:
- crime and disorder
- public safety
- prevention of public nuisance
- protection of children from harm.
They have 3 working days to object after the service of the TEN.
If there is an objection to a standard TEN, which cannot be resolved by agreed modification of the notice, a hearing by the council's Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee will be arranged. The Sub-Committee can decide to uphold or dismiss the objection and can impose conditions in certain circumstances.
Objection appeals
If, following a hearing, we decide to issue a counter notice in relation to a standard TEN, a premises user can appeal against the decision. Equally, if we decide not to issue a counter notice in relation to a standard TEN the Police or Environmental Health can appeal the decision.
An objection to a late TEN by the police or Environmental Health requires us to issue a counter notice and the late TEN will be of no effect. There is no right to a hearing by the Licensing Sub-Committee or any appeal.
