Reviewing and making representations about a club/premises licence

Information regarding the circumstances in which representations can be made is on the Premises licence and club premises certificate webpages.

Who are other persons?

Before 25 April 2012 only persons who lived or worked in the vicinity of the premises could make representations. However, now the 'vicinity test' does not apply allowing other persons to make representations regardless of their geographic location to the premises.
