How to make a representation:

Objections can only be made by responsible authorities or interested parties. Interested parties are defined as a person who:

a)       lives sufficiently close to the premises to be likely to be affected by the authorised activities

b)      has business interests that might be affected by the authorised activities

c)       represents persons who satisfy paragraph (a) or (b)

  • An interested party or responsible authority must make representations or objections in writing within the timescale
  • A representation may be an objection or a positive comment
  • If no relevant representations are made, the licence or variation must be granted in the form that the application was made
  • Any representations made must relate to the licensing objectives.

The licensing objectives are:

·       preventing gambling from being a source of crime or disorder, being associated with crime or disorder or being used to support crime

·       ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way, and

·       protecting children and other vulnerable persons from being harmed or exploited by gambling

Objections must be relevant and can only be made based on one or more of these three licensing objectives.
