Modification of premises licences to authorise off-sales for limited period

C17C12172F C14Authorisation of off-sales for limited period

1 Subsection (2) applies to a premises licence if—
a the licence has effect, or is capable of having effect, on the day on which this section comes into force (“day X”),
b immediately before day X, it is an on-sales only licence, and
c no disqualifying event has occurred in relation to the licence in the period of three years ending with day X.
2 The premises licence is to be treated as if, at the beginning of day X, it is varied so that it authorises off-sales during the relevant period subject to the condition that every off-sale must be made at a pre-cut off time when the licensed premises are open for the purposes of selling alcohol for consumption on the premises.
3 Any provisions of the premises licence on day X are suspended in so far as they are inconsistent with the authorisation granted by virtue of subsection (2) (and for so long as that authorisation has effect).
4 Subsection (5) applies to a premises licence if—
a the licence has effect, or is capable of having effect, on day X,
b immediately before day X, it authorises the sale by retail of alcohol for consumption on the licensed premises and it also authorises off-sales, and
c at that time that authorisation is subject to one or more of the following—
i one or more conditions relating to the time when an off-sale may be made that would prevent an off-sale during the relevant period being made at a pre-cut off time when the licensed premises are open for the purposes of selling alcohol for consumption on the premises;
ii one or more conditions applicable to pre-cut off times that would prevent an off-sale during the relevant period where the alcohol is sold in an open container;
iii one or more conditions applicable to pre-cut off times that would prevent an off-sale during the relevant period where it is a sale for delivery.
5 The premises licence is to be treated as if, at the beginning of day X, it is varied so that, in so far as and for so long as it authorises off-sales during the relevant period, it includes—
a where the requirement in subsection (4)(c)(i) is met, a condition that off-sales that would otherwise have been prevented by the condition or conditions mentioned in subsection (4)(c)(i) from being made at a pre-cut off time when the licensed premises are open for the purposes of selling alcohol for consumption on the premises may be made at such a time;
b where the requirement in subsection (4)(c)(ii) is met, a condition that off-sales at a pre-cut off time that would otherwise have been prevented by the condition or conditions mentioned in subsection (4)(c)(ii) from being in the form of alcohol sold in an open container may be in that form;
c where the requirement in subsection (4)(c)(iii) is met, a condition that off-sales at a pre-cut off time that would otherwise have been prevented by the condition or conditions mentioned in subsection (4)(c)(iii) from being a sale for delivery may be such a sale.
6 For so long as a condition has effect by virtue of subsection (5)(a), (b) or (c), the conditions of the licence referred to in subsection (4)(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) (as the case may be) are suspended in so far as they prevent the matters mentioned in that provision.
7 The references in subsections (3) and (6) to an authorisation or condition having effect include the authorisation or condition as subsequently varied or modified in so far as it has effect in relation to the relevant period.
8 For the purposes of subsection (1)(c) a disqualifying event has occurred in relation to a premises licence in the three year period mentioned in that provision if, at any time during that period—
a the relevant licensing authority refused to grant a premises licence in respect of the licensed premises authorising off-sales,
b the relevant licensing authority refused to vary the premises licence so as to authorise off-sales, or
c the premises licence was varied or modified so as to exclude off-sales from the scope of the licence.
9 In the case of a premises licence which is capable of having effect on day X, references in this section to what the licence authorises are to be read as references to what it would authorise were it to have effect.
10 In this section—
a “on-sales only licence” means a premises licence which—
i authorises the sale by retail of alcohol for consumption on the licensed premises, but
ii does not authorise off-sales;
b “off-sales” in relation to a premises licence means the sale by retail of alcohol for consumption off the licensed premises; and references to an off-sale are to be read accordingly;
c “sale for delivery” in relation to a premises licence means an off-sale for delivery by or on behalf of the holder of the licence to a building which is used for residential or work purposes (or both);
d “the relevant period” means the period beginning with day X and ending with—
i 31 March 2025, or
ii if earlier, the revocation or expiry of the premises licence or the exclusion of off-sales from the scope of the licence.
11 In this section “pre-cut off time”—
a in relation to licensed premises and a day, means any time between when the premises first open that day for the purposes of selling alcohol for consumption on the premises and 11pm (but this is subject to paragraph (b));
b in relation to licensed premises and a day throughout which the premises are open for the purposes of selling alcohol for consumption on the premises, means any time between when the premises are first open that day for the purposes of selling alcohol for consumption on the premises and 11pm.
12 Where a premises licence authorises the sale by retail of alcohol for consumption in an outdoor area of the licensed premises at some, but not all, of the times when it authorises the sale by retail of alcohol for consumption elsewhere on the premises, times when the premises are not open for the purposes of selling alcohol for consumption in the outdoor area of the premises are to be regarded for the purposes of this section as times when the premises are not “open for the purposes of selling alcohol for consumption on the premises”.

Section 200

Part 1 Premises licences

Introductory

I471
1 In this Part—
  • “canteen licence” has the same meaning as in section 148 of the 1964 Act (licences for seamen’s canteens);
  • “children’s certificate” has the same meaning as in section 168A of that Act;
  • “existing licence” means—
    1. a justices' licence,
    2. a canteen licence,
    3. a licence under Schedule 12 to the London Government Act 1963 (c. 33) (licensing of public entertainment in Greater London),
    4. a licence under the Private Places of Entertainment (Licensing) Act 1967 (c. 19),
    5. a licence under the Theatres Act 1968 (c. 54),
    6. a licence under the Late Night Refreshment Houses Act 1969 (c. 53),
    7. a licence under Schedule 1 to the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 (c. 30) (licensing of public entertainments outside Greater London),
    8. a licence under section 1 of the Cinemas Act 1985 (c. 13), or
    9. a licence under Part 2 of the London Local Authorities Act 1990 (c.vii) (night cafe licensing);
  • “existing licensable activities”, under an existing licence, are—
    1. the licensable activities authorised by the licence, and
    2. any other licensable activities which may be carried on, at the premises in respect of which the licence has effect, by virtue of the existence of the licence (see sub-paragraph (2));
  • “first appointed day” means such day as may be specified as the first appointed day for the purposes of this Part;
  • “new licence” has the meaning given in paragraph 5(1);
  • “relevant existing licence”, in relation to an application under paragraph 2, means an existing licence to which the application relates;
  • “relevant licensing authority” has the same meaning as in Part 3 of this Act (premises licences);
  • “second appointed day” means such day as may be specified as the second appointed day for the purposes of this Part; and
  • “supply of alcohol” means—
    1. sale by retail of alcohol, or
    2. supply of alcohol by or on behalf of a club to, or to the order of, a member of the club.
2 In determining, for the purposes of paragraph (b) of the definition of “existing licensable activities”, the other licensable activities which may be carried on by virtue of a licence—
a section 182 of the 1964 Act (relaxation of law relating to music and dancing licences) is to be disregarded so far as it relates to public entertainment by way of music and singing provided by not more than two performers, and
b in the case of an existing licence granted under the Theatres Act 1968 (c. 54), the reference in that paragraph to the licence is to be read as including a reference to any notice in force under section 199(c) of the 1964 Act (notice of intention to sell alcohol by retail at licensed theatre premises) in relation to that licence.
3 In the application of section 12 (relevant licensing authority in Part 3 of this Act) for the purposes of this Part, the reference in subsection (4)(a) of that section to an applicant for a premises licence is to be read as a reference to an applicant under paragraph 2 for the grant of a licence under paragraph 4.

Application for conversion of existing licence

I482
1 This paragraph applies where, in respect of any premises, one or more existing licences have effect on the first appointed day.
2 A person may, within the period of six months beginning with the first appointed day, apply to the relevant licensing authority for the grant of a licence under paragraph 4 to succeed one or more of those existing licences.
3 But an application may be made under this paragraph in respect of an existing licence only if—
a it is held by the applicant, or
b the holder of the licence consents to the application being made.
4 An application under this paragraph must specify—
a the existing licensable activities under the relevant existing licence or, if there is more than one, the relevant existing licences,
b if any relevant existing licence authorises the supply of alcohol, specified information about the person whom the applicant wishes to be the premises supervisor under the licence granted under paragraph 4, and
c such other information as may be specified.
5 The application must also be in the specified form and accompanied by—
a the relevant documents, and
b the specified fee.
6 The relevant documents are—
a the relevant existing licence or, if there is more than one, each of them (or a certified copy of the licence or licences in question),
b a plan in the specified form of the premises to which the relevant existing licence or licences relate,
c if any relevant existing licence authorises the supply of alcohol, any children’s certificate in force in respect of the premises (or a certified copy of any such certificate),
d a form of consent in the specified form, given by the individual (if any) named in the application in accordance with sub-paragraph (4)(b),
e a form of consent in the specified form, given by any person who is required to consent to the application under sub-paragraph (3), and
f such other documents as may be specified.
7 In this paragraph any reference to a certified copy of a document is a reference to a copy of that document certified to be a true copy—
a in the case of a justices' licence, children’s certificate or canteen licence, by the chief executive of the licensing justices for the licensing district in which the premises are situated,
b in any other case, by the chief executive of the local authority which issued the licence,
c by a solicitor or notary, or
d by a person of a specified description.
8 A document which purports to be a certified copy of an existing licence or children’s certificate is to be taken to be such a copy unless the contrary is shown.

Police consultation

3
1 Where a person makes an application under paragraph 2, he must give a copy of the application (and any documents which accompanied it) to the chief officer of police for the police area (or each police area) in which the premises are situated no later than 48 hours after the application is made.
2 Where—
a an appeal is pending against a decision to revoke, or to reject an application for the renewal of, the relevant existing licence or, if there is more than one such licence, a relevant existing licence, and
b a chief officer of police who has received a copy of the application under sub-paragraph (1) is satisfied that converting that existing licence in accordance with this Part would undermine the crime prevention objective,
he must give the relevant licensing authority and the applicant a notice to that effect.
3 Where a chief officer of police who has received a copy of an application under sub-paragraph (1) is satisfied that, because of a material change in circumstances since the relevant time, converting the relevant existing licence or, if there is more than one such licence, a relevant existing licence in accordance with this Part would undermine the crime prevention objective, he must give the relevant licensing authority and the applicant a notice to that effect.
4 For this purpose “relevant time” means the time when the relevant existing licence was granted or, if it has been renewed, the last time it was renewed.
5 The chief officer of police may not give a notice under sub-paragraph (2) or (3) after the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which he received a copy of the application under sub-paragraph (1).

Determination of application

4
1 This paragraph applies where an application is made in accordance with paragraph 2 and the applicant complies with paragraph 3(1).
2 Subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (5), the relevant licensing authority must grant the application.
3 Where a notice is given under paragraph 3(2) or (3) in respect of an existing licence (and not withdrawn), the authority must—
a hold a hearing to consider it, unless the authority, the applicant and the chief officer of police who gave the notice agree that a hearing is unnecessary, and
b having regard to the notice—
i in a case where the application relates only to that licence, reject the application, and
ii in any other case, reject the application to the extent that it relates to that licence,
if it considers it necessary for the promotion of the crime prevention objective to do so.
4 If the relevant licensing authority fails to determine the application within the period of two months beginning with the day on which it received it, then, subject to sub-paragraph (5), the application is to be treated as granted by the authority under this paragraph.
5 An application must not be granted (and is not to be treated as granted under sub-paragraph (4))—
a if the relevant existing licence has or, if there is more than one, all the relevant existing licences have ceased to be held by the applicant before the relevant time, or
b where there is more than one relevant existing licence (but paragraph (a) does not apply), to the extent that the application relates to an existing licence which has ceased to be held by the applicant before the relevant time.
6 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5)—
a where, for the purposes of paragraph 2(3)(b) a person has consented to an application being made in respect of a relevant existing licence, sub-paragraph (5)(a) and (b) applies in relation to that licence as if the reference to the applicant were a reference to—
i that person, or
ii any other person to whom the existing licence has been transferred and who has given his consent for the purposes of this paragraph, and
b “the relevant time” is the time of the determination of the application or, in a case within sub-paragraph (4), the end of the period mentioned in that sub-paragraph.
7 Section 10 applies as if the relevant licensing authority’s functions under sub-paragraph (3) were included in the list of functions in subsection (4) of that section (functions which cannot be delegated to an officer of the licensing authority).

Notification of determination and issue of new licence

5
1 Where an application is granted (in whole or in part) under paragraph 4, the relevant licensing authority must forthwith—
a give the applicant a notice to that effect, and
b issue the applicant with—
i a licence in respect of the premises (a “new licence”) in accordance with paragraph 6, and
ii a summary of the new licence.
2 Where an application is rejected (in whole or in part) under paragraph 4, the relevant licensing authority must forthwith give the applicant a notice to that effect stating the authority’s reasons for its decision to reject the application.
3 The relevant licensing authority must give a copy of any notice it gives under sub-paragraph (1) or (2) to the chief officer of police for the police area (or each police area) in which the premises to which the notice relates are situated.

The new licence

I496
1 This paragraph applies where a new licence is granted under paragraph 4 in respect of one or more existing licences.
2 Where an application under paragraph 2 is granted in part only, any relevant existing licence in respect of which the application was rejected is to be disregarded for the purposes of the following provisions of this paragraph.
3 The new licence is to be treated as if it were a premises licence (see section 11), and sections 19, 20 and 21 (mandatory conditions for premises licences) apply in relation to it accordingly.
4 The new licence takes effect on the second appointed day.
5 The new licence must authorise the premises in question to be used for the existing licensable activities under the relevant existing licence or, if there is more than one relevant existing licence, the relevant existing licences.
6 Subject to sections 19, 20 and 21 and the remaining provisions of this paragraph, the new licence must be granted subject to such conditions as reproduce the effect of—
a the conditions subject to which the relevant existing licence has effect at the time the application is granted, or
b if there is more than one relevant existing licence, all the conditions subject to which those licences have effect at that time.
7 Where the new licence authorises the supply of alcohol, the new licence must designate the person named in the application under paragraph 2(4)(b) as the premises supervisor.
8 The new licence must also be granted subject to conditions which reproduce the effect of any restriction imposed on the use of the premises for the existing licensable activities under the relevant existing licence or licences by any enactment specified for the purposes of this Part.
9 In determining those restrictions, the relevant licensing authority must have regard to any children’s certificate which accompanied (or a certified copy of which accompanied) the application and which remains in force.
10 Nothing in sub-paragraph (6) or (8) requires the new licence to be granted for a limited period.
11 But, where the application under paragraph 2 includes a request for the new licence to have effect for a limited period, the new licence is to be granted subject to that condition.

Variation of new licence

7
1 A person who makes an application under paragraph 2 may (notwithstanding that no licence has yet been granted in consequence of that application) at the same time apply—
a under section 37 for any licence so granted to be varied so as to specify the individual named in the application as the premises supervisor, or
b under section 34 for any other variation of any such licence,
and for the purposes of an application within paragraph (a) or (b) the applicant is to be treated as the holder of that licence.
2 In relation to an application within sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b), the relevant licensing authority may discharge its functions under section 35 or 39 only if, and when, the application under paragraph 2 has been granted.
3 Where an application within sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b) is not determined by the relevant licensing authority within the period of two months beginning with the day the application was received by the authority, it is to be treated as having been rejected by the authority under section 35 or 39 (as the case may be) at the end of that period.

Existing licence revoked after grant of new licence

8
1 This paragraph applies where the relevant licensing authority grants a new licence under this Part in respect of one or more existing licences.
2 If sub-paragraph (4) applies to the existing licence (or each of the existing licences) which the new licence succeeds, the new licence lapses.
3 If—
a where the new licence relates to more than one relevant existing licence, sub-paragraph (4) applies to one or more, but not all, of those licences, or
b sub-paragraph (4) applies to a children’s certificate in respect of the premises,
the licensing authority must amend the new licence so as to remove from it any provision which would not have been included in it but for the existence of any existing licence or certificate to which sub-paragraph (4) applies.
4 This sub-paragraph applies to an existing licence or children’s certificate if—
a it is revoked before the second appointed day, or
b where an appeal against a decision to revoke it is pending immediately before that day, the appeal is dismissed or abandoned.
5 Any amendment under sub-paragraph (3) takes effect when it is notified to the holder of the new licence by the relevant licensing authority.
6 The relevant licensing authority must give a copy of any notice under sub-paragraph (5) to the chief officer of police for the police area (or each police area) in which the premises to which the new licence relates are situated.

Appeals

9
1 Where an application under paragraph 2 is rejected (in whole or in part) by the relevant licensing authority, the applicant may appeal against that decision.
2 Where a licensing authority grants such an application (in whole or in part), any chief officer of police who gave a notice in relation to it under paragraph 3(2) or (3) (that was not withdrawn) may appeal against that decision.
3 Where a licence is amended under paragraph 8, the holder of the licence may appeal against that decision.
4 Section 181 and paragraph 9(1) and (2) of Schedule 5 (general provision about appeals against decisions under Part 3 of this Act) apply in relation to appeals under this paragraph as they apply in relation to appeals under Part 1 of that Schedule.
5 Paragraph 9(3) of that Schedule applies in relation to an appeal under sub-paragraph (2).

False statements

10
1 A person commits an offence if he knowingly or recklessly makes a false statement in or in connection with an application under paragraph 2.
2 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) a person is to be treated as making a false statement if he produces, furnishes, signs or otherwise makes use of a document that contains a false statement.
3 A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.

Opening hours

I5011
1 This paragraph applies where—
a within such period (of not less than six months) as may be specified, the holder of a justices' licence for any premises applies, in accordance with Part 3 of this Act, for the grant of a premises licence in respect of those premises, and
b the licence, if granted in the form applied for, would authorise the sale by retail of alcohol.
2 In determining the application for the premises licence under section 18, the relevant licensing authority may not, by virtue of subsection (3)(b) of that section, grant the licence subject to conditions which prevent the sale of alcohol on the premises during the permitted hours.
3 But sub-paragraph (2) does not apply where—
a there has been a material change in circumstances since the relevant time, and
b the relevant representations made in respect of the application include representations made by the chief officer of police for the police area (or any police area) in which the premises are situated advocating that, for the purposes of promoting the crime prevention objective, the premises licence ought to authorise the sale of alcohol during more restricted hours than the permitted hours.
4 In this paragraph—
  • “permitted hours” means the permitted hours during which the holder of the justices' licence is permitted to sell alcohol on the premises under Part 3 of the 1964 Act;
  • “relevant representations” has the meaning given in section 18(6); and
  • “relevant time” means the time when the justices' licence was granted or, if it has been renewed, the last time it was renewed.

Provisional licences

I5112
1 Where—
a during such period as may be specified the relevant licensing authority receives an application in accordance with Part 3 of this Act for the grant of a premises licence in respect of any premises (“the relevant premises”),
b under section 6 of the 1964 Act, a provisional grant of a justices' licence has been made for—
i the relevant premises or a part of them, or
ii premises that are substantially the same as the relevant premises or a part of them, and
c the conditions of sub-paragraph (2) are satisfied,
the licensing authority must have regard to the provisional grant of the justices' licence when determining the application for the grant of the premises licence.
2 The conditions are—
a that the provisional grant of the justices' licence has not been declared final, and
b that the premises to which the provisional grant relates have been completed in a manner which substantially complies with the plans deposited under the 1964 Act or, as the case may be, with those plans with modifications consented to under section 6(3) of that Act.

  • “second appointed day” means such day as may be specified as the second appointed day for the purposes of this Part.
2 In the application of section 68 (relevant licensing authority in Part 4 of this Act) for the purposes of this Part, the reference in subsection (4) of that section to an applicant for a club premises certificate is to be read as a reference to an applicant under paragraph 14 for the grant of a certificate under paragraph 16.

Application for conversion of existing club certificate

I5314
1 This paragraph applies where, in respect of any premises, a club holds an existing club certificate on the first appointed day.
2 The club may, within the period of six months beginning with the first appointed day, apply to the relevant licensing authority for the grant of a certificate under paragraph 16 to succeed the existing club certificate so far as it relates to those premises.
3 An application under this Part must specify the existing qualifying club activities and such other information as may be specified.
4 The application must also be in the specified form and accompanied by—
a the relevant documents, and
b the specified fee.
5 The relevant documents are—
a the relevant existing club certificate (or a certified copy of it),
b a plan in the specified form of the premises to which that certificate relates, and
c such other documents as may be specified.
6 In this paragraph any reference to a certified copy of a document is a reference to a copy of that document certified to be a true copy—
a by the chief executive of the licensing justices for the licensing district in which the premises are situated,
b by a solicitor or notary, or
c by a person of a specified description.
7 A document which purports to be a certified copy of an existing club certificate is to be taken to be such a copy unless the contrary is shown.

Police consultation

15
1 Where a person makes an application under paragraph 14, he must give a copy of the application (and any documents which accompany it) to the chief officer of police for the police area (or each police area) in which the premises are situated no later than 48 hours after the application is made.
2 Where—
a an appeal is pending against a decision to revoke, or to reject an application for the renewal of, the relevant existing club certificate, and
b a chief officer of police who has received a copy of the application under sub-paragraph (1) is satisfied that converting that existing club certificate in accordance with this Part would undermine the crime prevention objective,
he must give the relevant licensing authority and the applicant a notice to that effect.
3 Where a chief officer of police who has received a copy of the application under sub-paragraph (1) is satisfied that, because of a material change in circumstances since the relevant time, converting the relevant existing club certificate in accordance with this Part would undermine the crime prevention objective, he must give the relevant licensing authority and the applicant a notice to that effect.
4 For this purpose “the relevant time” means the time when the relevant existing club certificate was granted or, if it has been renewed, the last time it was renewed.
5 The chief officer of police may not give a notice under sub-paragraph (2) or (3) after the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which he received a copy of the application under sub-paragraph (1).

2 Subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (5), the licensing authority must grant the application.
3 Where a notice is given under paragraph 15(2) or (3) (and not withdrawn), the authority must—
a hold a hearing to consider it, unless the authority, the applicant and the chief officer of police who gave the notice agree that a hearing is unnecessary, and
b having regard to the notice, reject the application if it considers it necessary for the promotion of the crime prevention objective to do so.
4 If the relevant licensing authority fails to determine the application within the period of two months beginning with the day on which it received it, then, subject to sub-paragraph (5), the application is to be treated as granted by the authority under this paragraph.
5 An application must not be granted (and is not to be treated as granted under sub-paragraph (4)) if the existing club certificate has ceased to have effect at—
a the time of the determination of the application, or
b in a case within sub-paragraph (4), the end of the period mentioned in that sub-paragraph.
6 Section 10 applies as if the relevant licensing authority’s functions under sub-paragraph (3) were included in the list of functions in subsection (4) of that section (functions which cannot be delegated to an officer of the licensing authority).

Notification of determination and issue of new certificate

17
1 Where an application is granted under paragraph 16, the relevant licensing authority must forthwith—
a give the applicant a notice to that effect, and
b issue the applicant with—
i a certificate in respect of the premises (“the new certificate”) in accordance with paragraph 18, and
ii a summary of the new certificate.
2 Where an application is rejected under paragraph 16, the relevant licensing authority must forthwith give the applicant a notice to that effect containing a statement of the authority’s reasons for its decision to reject the application.
3 The relevant licensing authority must give a copy of any notice it gives under sub-paragraph (1) or (2) to the chief officer of police for the police area (or each police area) in which the premises to which the notice relates are situated.

The new certificate

I5418
1 The new certificate is to be treated as if it were a club premises certificate (see section 60), and sections 73, 74 and 75 apply in relation to it accordingly.
2 The new certificate takes effect on the second appointed day.
3 The new certificate must authorise the premises to be used for the existing qualifying club activities.
4 Subject to sections 73, 74 and 75, the new certificate must be granted subject to such conditions as reproduce the effect of the conditions subject to which the relevant existing club certificate has effect at the time the application is granted.
5 The new certificate must also be granted subject to conditions which reproduce the effect of any restriction imposed on the use of the premises for the existing qualifying club activities by any enactment specified for the purposes of this Part.
6 Nothing in sub-paragraph (4) or (5) requires the new certificate to be granted for a limited period.

Variation of new certificate

19
1 A person who makes an application under paragraph 14 may (notwithstanding that no certificate has yet been granted in consequence of that application) at the same time apply under section 84 for a variation of the certificate, and, for the purposes of such an application, the applicant is to be treated as the holder of that certificate.
2 In relation to an application within sub-paragraph (1), the relevant licensing authority may discharge its functions under section 85 only if, and when, the application under this Part has been granted.
3 Where an application within sub-paragraph (1) is not determined by the relevant licensing authority within the period of two months beginning with the day the application was received by the authority, it is to be treated as having been rejected by the authority under section 85 at the end of that period.

Existing club certificate revoked after grant of new certificate

20Where the relevant licensing authority grants a new certificate under this Part, that certificate lapses if and when—
a the existing club certificate is revoked before the second appointed day, or

Part 3 Personal licences

Introductory

I1423
1 Paragraphs 24 to 27 apply where—
a during the transitional period, the holder of a justices' licence applies to the relevant licensing authority for the grant of a personal licence under section 117,
b the application is accompanied by the documents mentioned in sub-paragraph (3), and
c the applicant gives a copy of the application to the chief officer of police for the relevant licensing authority’s area within 48 hours from the time the application is made.
2 In this paragraph “transitional period” means such period (of not less than six months) as may be specified for the purposes of this Part.
3 The documents are—
a the justices' licence (or a certified copy of that licence),
b a photograph of the applicant in the specified form which is endorsed, by a person of a specified description, with a statement verifying the likeness of the photograph to the applicant, and
c where the applicant has been convicted of any relevant offence or foreign offence on or after the relevant date, a statement giving details of the offence.
4 In this paragraph any reference to a certified copy of a justices' licence is to a copy of that licence certified to be a true copy—
a by the designated officer for the licensing justices for the licensing district concerned,
b by a solicitor or notary, or
c by a person of a specified description.
5 A document which purports to be a certified copy of a justices' licence is to be taken to be such a copy, unless the contrary is shown.

Section 120 disapplied

24Section 120 (determination of application for grant) does not apply in relation to the application.

Police objections

25
1 Sub-paragraph (2) applies where—
a the applicant has been convicted of any relevant offences or foreign offences on or after the relevant date, and
b having regard to—
i any conviction of the applicant for a relevant offence, and
ii any conviction of his for a foreign offence which the chief officer of police considers to be comparable to a relevant offence,
whether occurring before or after the relevant date, the chief officer of police is satisfied that the exceptional circumstances of the case are such that granting the application would undermine the crime prevention objective.
2 The chief officer of police must give a notice stating the reasons why he is so satisfied (an “objection notice”)—
a to the relevant licensing authority, and
b to the applicant.
3 The objection notice must be given no later than 28 days after the day on which the chief officer of police receives a copy of the application in accordance with paragraph 23(1)(c).
4 For the purposes of this paragraph—
a “relevant offence” and “foreign offence” have the meaning given in section 113, and
b section 114 (spent convictions) applies for the purposes of this paragraph as it applies for the purposes of section 120.

Determination of application

26
1 The relevant licensing authority must grant the application if—
a it is satisfied that the applicant holds a justices' licence, and
b no objection notice has been given within the period mentioned in paragraph 25(3) or any notice so given has been withdrawn.
2 Where the authority is not satisfied that the applicant holds a justices' licence, it must reject the application.
3 Where the authority is so satisfied, but sub-paragraph (1)(b) does not apply, it—
a must hold a hearing to consider the objection notice, and
b having regard to the notice, must—
i reject the application if it considers it necessary for the promotion of the crime prevention objective to do so, and
ii grant the application in any other case.
4 If the authority fails to determine the application within the period of three months beginning with the day on which it receives it, then, the application is to be treated as granted by the authority under this paragraph.
5 Section 10 applies as if the relevant licensing authority’s functions under sub-paragraph (3) were included in the list of functions in subsection (4) of that section (functions which cannot be delegated to an officer of the licensing authority).
6 In the application of section 122 (notification of determinations) to a determination under this paragraph, the references to an objection notice are to be read as references to an objection notice within the meaning of paragraph 25(2).

Appeals

27
1 Where a licensing authority rejects an application under paragraph 26, the applicant may appeal against that decision.
2 Where a licensing authority grants an application for a personal licence under paragraph 26(3), the chief officer of police who gave the objection notice may appeal against that decision.
3 Section 181 and paragraph 17(6) and (7) of Schedule 5 (general provision about appeals relating to personal licences) apply in relation to appeals under this paragraph as they apply in relation to appeals under paragraph 17 of that Schedule.
4 Paragraph 17(8) of that Schedule applies in relation to an appeal under sub-paragraph (2) above.

  • “relevant date”, in relation to the holder of a justices' licence, means—
    1. the date when the licence was granted, or
    2. where it has been renewed, the last date when it was renewed, or

.

Meaning of “methylated spirits” (transitory provision)

30Until such time as an order is made under subsection (6) of section 5 of the Finance Act 1995 (c. 4) (denatured alcohol) bringing that section into force, section 191 of this Act (meaning of “alcohol”) has effect as if—
a for subsection (1)(f) there were substituted—
, and
b in subsection (2), the definition of “denatured alcohol” were omitted and at the appropriate place there were inserted—

Savings

31Notwithstanding the repeal by this Act of Schedule 12 to the London Government Act 1963 (c. 33) (licensing of public entertainment in Greater London), or of any enactment amending that Schedule, that Schedule shall continue to apply in relation to—
a licences granted under section 21 of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1966 (c. xxviii) (licensing of public exhibitions in London), and

2 On or after the coming into force of paragraph 85(3) of Schedule 6 to this Act, the reference in section 18 of that Act to paragraph (ii) of the proviso to paragraph 3A of Schedule 3 to that Act is to be read as a reference to that paragraph as substituted by paragraph 85(3) of Schedule 6 to this Act.
33Notwithstanding that by virtue of this Act the Cinemas Act 1985 (c. 13) ceases to have effect in England and Wales, section 6 of that Act (other than subsection (3)), and sections 5, 20 and 21 of that Act so far as relating to that section, shall continue to have effect there for the purposes of—
