How is a ‘license extension’ an event? *confused*
It isn’t an ‘event’ but the law describes all temporary notices for licences as Temporary Event Notices. The government guidance is contained here https://www.gov.uk/temporary-events-notice
Thanks Bob, and there was me thinking license holders seeking extensions would have to explain more clearly why they want to further encroach on the local community.
Sadly not, I’m afraid. As you can probably see for a temporary event notice the public don’t even have a right to lodge an objection, which, personally, I think is outrageous.
Hold on! Whst about people who live nearby who have to be up for work early. They should have some considerstion. This is disgusting. I and many others totally object

Lisa, I agree 100%, but as I indicated, the legislation does not provide an opportunity for members of the public to object to temporary licence notices.
