1. HMG finally publish most of the outstanding regulations for reform (Continued)

The specific requirements for plans are onerous and the DCMS appears to have ignored all the representations which they have received in respect of them. We will advise on shortcuts which might be able to be utilised if required. Please contact us about this.

We have devised a formula to calculate, within Excel, the fees payable per premise under the current fee proposal on a volume basis. If you would like this and it may be of assistance, please let us know.
The application for variation must be served on the responsible Authorities, previously identified but that list now includes the local Weights and Measures Authority but not the Crime and Disorder Partnerships nor the local Mayor (as originally proposed).
Another area where the representations appear to have been ignored relate to the public Notice of any Application for Variation. No form of notice is prescribed although the contents of it (which are many) are specified. Any New Licence Application (outside Transition) and every Variation Application must be advertised:-
(a)For a period of no less than twenty eight consecutive days starting on the day after the day the application was given to the relevant Authority, displaying a notice of size equal to or larger than A4 of a pale blue colour, printing legibly in black ink or typed in black in a font of a size equal to or larger than sixteen prominently at or on the premises where it can be conveniently read from the exterior of the premises.
