Applications for the review of a premises licence

ApplicantPremisesGrounds for reviewLicensing objectivesStart and end dates for representations

You can view any of the above applications electronically by emailing the licensing team or in person by making an appointment at the Civic Offices. You can book an appointment by phoning 0118 9373762.

You can have your say about an application or an existing licence by emailing the licensing team. Representations must relate to at least one of the four licensing objectives and include a full name and address. No written representations will have personal details removed unless the licensing authority deems it appropriate to do so. Any request for personal details to be removed should be notified to the Licensing Authority at the time of making the representation.

Please read our guidance on making a representation to licence applications. If you wish to make a representation, please complete this form and email it to licensing@reading.gov.uk.

The Licensing Act requires local authorities to provide to the applicant copies of all representations made in relation to an application.  In some exceptional and isolated circumstances interested parties may be reluctant to make representations because of fears of violence or intimidation if their personal details such as name and address are divulged to the applicant.  In these cases, we would consider withholding people’s personal details. It is an offence to knowingly or recklessly make a false statement in connection with an application, the maximum fine for doing so upon summary conviction is unlimited.

Applicants have the right to view any representations.

A valid objection will lead to a hearing where a decision will be made. You will be invited to the hearing and given the chance to voice your objection to the Licensing Committee.
