The Licensing Act 2003 and licence applications
Have your say about a licence application, representations, objections and appeals, advertise new applications, responsible authorities, request a review of a premises licence or a club premises certificate.
Appeal a Licensing Act 2003 decision
Either the applicant or a representor can appeal against the decision of the licensing panel within 21 days of the written notification.
This appeal has to be made to the magistrates' court. An appeal triggers a complete re-hearing of the matter.
Whilst costs are not awardable by the council against any party making a representation, or requesting a review, a magistrates' court can award costs either for or against any party which lodges the appeal.
