The proper process to lodge a competent objection or representation regarding an application is detailed below

All existing licensed premises that want to operate in terms of the new licensing regime after 1 September 2009 must apply to the board for a new type licence. Where an application type is noted as "conversion", this is an existing premises and no substantial changes have been applied for relating to proposed size, capacity, nature of operation, trading hours or forms of entertainment available on the premises.

Any person wishing to make objections or representations in regard to any application may do so in writing, giving their name and address, signed for or on their behalf, and specify the grounds for the objection or representations.

Written objections or representations must be hand delivered to, posted to or emailed to the Clerk of the Licensing Board no later than the objection date listed against each application.

The person making the objection or representation is responsible for making sure that the Board has received it.

Late objections or representations may be considered if the council is satisfied that there was sufficient reason for a late submission.
