What next?
You have to advertise the application by displaying a public notice at the premises for 10 working days, starting on the first working day after the application is received by us. The notice should be on white paper in a font no less than 16 point.
During this 10 working day period, we will decide to consult which, if any, Responsible Authorities we consider appropriate. We'll also take into account any representations received from interested parties during the consultation period before making a decision. We will inform you of the decision to either grant or refuse the application within a further period of five working days (i.e. within a period of 15 working days, starting on the first working day after the application is received by the Licensing Authority).
