What happens next

A personal licence will be granted to you on receipt of a valid application if:

  • you have no relevant or foreign convictions
  • you have had suitable training
  • you are over 18 years of age

If you have any relevant or foreign convictions, the police can make representations against the application and the matter will be referred to a Licensing and Safety Sub-Committee.

You will be given the opportunity to attend a hearing to address any concerns raised by the police.

The committee members will make a decision on whether they allow or refuse your licence based on:

  • the points raised
  • the evidence presented
