The Harrow Licensing Panel determines applications and makes orders for a range of licences, permits, registrations, and certificates. This includes decisions on rights of way, street naming, markets, car park orders, and common land. The panel also handles safety certificates for sports grounds, film classification, and matters arising from the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982.
Specifically, the panel addresses applications under the Licensing Act 2003 and Gambling Act 2005 where objections or representations have been made and remain unresolved. This includes personal licence applications with unspent convictions, premises licence variations, and reviews of premises licences. The panel's decisions are subject to appeal to the Magistrates' Court.
