Regulation 5 Documents to accompany applications for a converted premises licenceI1
England and Wales
An application under section 159 for a converted premises licence shall be accompanied by—
a copy of the equivalent permission under the existing legislation; or
where the applicant is applying for but has not been granted the equivalent permission under the existing legislation, copies of the documents submitted by the applicant in applying for the permission.
Where an applicant is unable to comply with paragraph (1)(a) because it is not reasonably practicable for him to produce a copy of the relevant permission under the existing legislation, he must include with the application under section 159 a statement—
explaining why it is not reasonably practicable to do so, and
setting out the nature of the permission, the date on which it was granted and by whom.
In this regulation and in regulation 6, “the equivalent permission under the existing legislation”, in relation to an application for a converted premises licence, means the licence or permit under the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963f1 or the Gaming Act 1968f2—
held by the applicant in respect of the premises to which the application relates, and
by virtue of which the applicant is entitled to be issued with a converted premises licence.
