Making a representation

The Licensing Act 2003 allows residents or businesses to make representations for or against the operation of the business for which a licence is being applied.

Local residents and businesses in the vicinity of the premises may make representations. This is providing that they are relevant to any of the licensing objectives, which are:

  • The prevention of crime and disorder;
  • public safety;
  • the prevention of public nuisance;
  • and the protection of children from harm.

Representations must be submitted, in writing, by interested parties within 28 days, beginning the day after the date on which the application was given to the Licensing Authority.

Representation should be sent to:

  • Licensing
    The Licensing Unit
    Calderdale MBC
    Town Hall,
    Halifax.
    HX1 1UJ.
  • Telephone: 01422 393001 / 393002 / 393131
  • Email: licensing@calderdale.gov.uk

What happens if relevant representations are made?

If representations are made, the Licensing Authority will arrange a hearing of the application by 3 members of the Licensing and Regulatory Committee sitting as a Sub Committee.

If you would like to discuss your concerns prior to submitting representations, contact the Licensing Team above. Officers may be able to arrange a meeting with the applicant to agree on ways to address your concerns, without the need for a hearing.
