The Guidebook’s headings include The Role of Councils in Licensing; The Role of Responsible Authorities; A Summary of Key Permissions under the Act; What is a Representation?; Licence Conditions, Hearings and Appeals and Responding to Issues at Licensed Premises, including Reviews and Prosecutions.
