Licensing Sub-Committee Hearing Procedure

The Sub-Committee was scheduled to review the hearing procedure for Type E Temporary Event Notices (TENs). This procedure outlines how hearings are conducted under the Licensing Act 2003, particularly for TENs, and details the steps involved from the introduction of the item to the announcement of the decision. The procedure is available as Hearing Procedure Type E - TENs 4.

Temporary Event Notices - Standing Item

A standing item on Temporary Event Notices was also on the agenda. This indicates that any TENs that have received objections from Responsible Authorities, such as the Police or Environmental Protection, would be considered. The report pack does not specify any particular TENs that were scheduled for discussion under this item. The general procedure for such hearings is detailed in the Licensing Sub-Committee Hearings document.

The meeting was scheduled to be held remotely and live-streamed. The full agenda for the meeting can be found in the Agenda frontsheet Thursday 23-Apr-2026 19.00 Licensing Sub Committee A.
