Guidance on making a representation

Relevant representations must be in writing and submitted to the Licensing Authority. To assist objectors the Licensing Authority has created a form for making representations.

We would recommend that you use this form to submit your representation. The form is designed to help extract the type of information which is required to ensure the representation can be accepted. Your representations must reach us within the 28 day notice period. Late representations will not be considered. If you are unsure when the application was made, you can check with the council or look at the advertising of the application.

A copy of your representation will be included in the committee papers and your personal details may form part of the recorded decision, all of which are public documents. It is important that the applicant is provided with the opportunity to address the comments raised in your representation. If you do not want your personal details to be released then you will be unable to make a personal representation.
