Parties are reminded that there are rights of appeal against this the Licensing Authority’s decision pursuant to Section 181 of and Schedule 5 to the Licensing Act 2003. An appeal may be made to any Magistrates’ Court in England and Wales, but it is expected that an appellant would bring an appeal to a Magistrates’ Court in the area in which they or the Premises are situated. In this case the Magistrates’ Court sitting at Petters Way, Yeovil, Somerset, BA20 1SW.

Any appeal must be commenced within a period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the appellant is notified by the Licensing Authority of the decision which is being appealed i.e. within 21 days beginning with the day on which this Decision Notice is given to the appellant.

All parties are also reminded of the procedures contained within the Licensing Act 2003 relating to review of the Premises licence. This provision permits nearby residents, businesses, or responsible authorities to apply for a review of a Premises licence where problems with crime and disorder, public safety, public nuisance, or the protection of children from harm are occurring. The Sub-Committee respectfully reminds all parties that for any review to go ahead, evidence would need to be collected of incidents occurring that undermine the licensing objectives.
