Application process
If you're seeking a review, you must give written notice of the application to the Licensing Authority. The government has set a prescribed application for review which must be completed in full by the person applying for a review.
When you complete the form you must also provide:
- an original application for review to the Licensing Unit
- a photocopy of the application to the Licence Holder of the premises that are to be reviewed
- a photocopy of the application on all the responsible authorities

We also advise you to keep either proof of postage, recorded delivery certificate or if delivered by hand, a short statement to confirm the time and date when you served the application.
If you fail to serve the application for review to all the people above, the application becomes invalid and will be rejected.

- notices to be displayed on and around the premises that is being reviewed
- notices to be displayed in the council offices
- a copy of the public notice to be placed on our website.
