How long will my application take?

All applications have to go through a 28 day consultation period. Responsible Authorities and other interested parties (such as local residents and councillors) can submit a representation objecting to, or in support of, the application.

If we haven't received any representations, we can issue your licence at the end of this period.

If we receive representations, we will contact you and make you aware.

Your application will then be referred to a Licensing Panel hearing where a decision will be made on whether to approve your application. A meeting will be notified to you after the closing date for representations. Any party making a representation will also be invited to attend.
