A review is an application to us to consider whether a particular premises is being conducted in accordance with their licence and the terms of the Licensing Act 2003, and to consider taking appropriate action.
A review should not be the first stage in taking action to deal with concerns about licensed premises. Anyone with concerns about such premises should consider whether these could be dealt with by other means, for example:
- asking the licence holder or club secretary to take steps to rectify the situation
- asking the relevant responsible authority whether there is other legislation which could be used to solve the problem. For instance, Environmental Health may be able to help deal with noise nuisance or the Police may be able to help in cases of crime and disorder at licensed premises.
