NOTES

1. Section 68 provides that :-

   (1) The appropriate Licensing Board may—

   (a) on the application of the holder of the premises licence in respect of any licensed premises, and

   (b) if the Board consider it appropriate to do so in connection with—

   (i) a special event or occasion to be catered for on the premises, or

   (ii) a special event of local or national significance,

   extend the licensed hours in respect of the premises by such period as is specified in the application or such other period as the Board consider appropriate.

2. The applicant must be the licence holder.

3. Please describe in detail the event for which the extension is required and all activities that will take place as part of the event. Note in paragraph 1 above that the event must be a special one to be catered for on the premises or one of local or national significance.

4. Insert the inclusive dates during which the extension is required. Note that as s.68 (2) provides that “An extension of licensed hours under subsection (1) has effect for such period as is specified in the application or such other period as the Board consider appropriate; but in either case the period must not exceed one month.”

5. Insert the extended hours sought. Your operating plan will detail the core hours during which the premises will be open anyway. Insert here the hours required over and above those core hours e.g. a premises normally opens between 11am and 11pm but wishes to host a wedding with a bar until 1am on a Saturday. Insert here against Saturday a commencement time of 11pm and a terminal hour of 1am.

   Also detail here the times for planned activities.

6. Detail here the arrangements proposed for children. You may have child provisions within the operating plan but they may not cover the period of the extended hours. Where hours are extended at the end of core hours then special consideration should be given to the licensing objective of protecting children from harm.

7. Data Protection Act 2018 - The information on this form may be held on an electronic register which may be available to members of the public on request.
