The Board's policy is that applications for hours within 11am to 1am are delegated to the Clerk, and can be dealt with under the delegated powers if no adverse comments  are received from police/LSO. Any applications for hours outwith that period would be  contrary to the Board's policy and would require to be referred to a meeting of the  Board for consideration.

An Occasional Licence does not negate the requirement to have a Public Entertainment Licence. If you are providing entertainment such as agricultural shows, festivals, regattas or similar for members of the public, you must apply for a Public Entertainment Licence here
