Applications completed in 2014
Licensing Act 2003 ‐ Applications completed in 2014 Please find below a list of Licensing Act 2003 applications completed since 1 January 2014 by the Licensing Authority, Worthing Borough Council, for new Premises Licences, Variations to existing Premises Licences and Review applications. The terms of the Licensing Act 2003 dictate that all 'new' application and 'variation' applications are publicised and consulted on. If no representations are received from 'Responsible Authorities' or any other persons such applications must be granted as applied for. If relevant representations are received and mediation between the parties is unsuccessful then the application has to be deliberated by a sub‐committee of the Licensing & Control Committee B following a hearing. 'Minor variations' are also consulted on but only by 'public notice' on the premises, details posted on this website and any responsible authorities the licensing authority selects as relevant. If relevant representations are received and considered by officers to have implications under the licensing objectives then the application is simply rejected and a full variation has to be applied for. ‘Review’ applications cannot be withdrawn unless a licence is surrendered and must be heard by the full Licensing Committee B whatever agreement mediation may produce.
