This guidance document is intended to help licensees and those applying for Licenses on the management of noise and other public nuisance issues from their premises and has been prepared and adopted by Environmental Health Departments of all the 14 Essex Local Authorities. The Environmental Health Department generally comments on the Licensing objective for the prevention of public nuisance aspect of your application and if you have not addressed these matters by statements or information on or accompanying your application form, they may make representation (an objection) to the Licensing team or call for a review of an existing licence. This may affect your application or licence and may result in a Licensing Hearing to consider the objection. The document is also intended to provide guidance on best practice for preventing noise nuisance in general from similar premises other than licensed ones.
The Act covers a number of licensable activities including the sale and supply of alcohol, provisions of regulated entertainment and provision of late night refreshments (hot food or drink between the hours of 11pm and 5am). Licences are required for the following types of premises or events:
"Guidance to prevent illegal working in licensed premises". From 6 April 2017, the Licensing Authority has a legal obligation to prevent persons from applying for and being granted Personal Licences or Premises Licences when they do not have the right or entitlement to work in the UK. In other words the person/applicant does not hold the correct immigration status to work in the UK, or has only a time limited status to work in the UK. The guidance shown on the link has been sent out to Licensing Authorities from the Home Office, but clearly defines for applicants what documents they will be asked to produce by the Licensing Authority when submitting an application for a Personal Licence or Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003. In particular you are advised to look at the documents shown in annex A on page 17 of the document above as you will be asked to produce a copy or scanned copy of one of these documents to support your right to work in the UK and in order for the Licensing Authority to be able to process and grant your application. We will not and cannot process or grant an application for a Personal Licence or Premises Licence without all of the relevant and necessary documentation being in place and in accordance with the documentation shown on Annex A page 17 of the document above.
