What is the procedure once the police object to a temporary event notice?
The licensing authority must hold a hearing to consider the objection notice, unless the premises user, the chief officer of police who gave the objection notice and the licensing authority agree that a hearing is unnecessary. At the hearing consideration by the licensing authority is confined to the crime prevention objective. If it considers it necessary for the promotion of the crime prevention objective the licensing authority may give the premises user a counter notice, stating the reasons for it’s decision and copying it to the relevant chief officer of police. The effect of the counter notice is to stop the event from taking place. Where a licensing authority decides not to give a counter notice, it must give the premises user and the relevant chief officer of police notice of this decision and the event can take place as notified.
