The Police and Environmental Health may object to temporary event notices or ask for conditions to be imposed. Only the Police may object to personal licence applications, transfers of licences or variations of designated premises supervisor.

To be valid, every representation must engage with one or more of the statutory licensing objectives:

  • The prevention of crime and disorder
  • Public safety
  • The prevention of public nuisance
  • The protection of children from harm
