Regulation 5 Application for an authorisation or an approval
An application to the licensing authority for an authorisation or an approval (“an application”) must be in writing and be accompanied by—
such information the licensing authority may reasonably require; and
any applicable fee charged by the licensing authority in accordance with regulation 9.
The licensing authority may refuse to consider an application if the person making the application (“the applicant”) fails to comply with the requirement of paragraph (1).
The licensing authority must give a decision in writing in relation to each application which complies with the requirement of paragraph (1).
Where the licensing authority proposes to either grant an authorisation or approval subject to a condition or conditions or to refuse an application, written notice must be given to the applicant stating the—
reasons for the proposal, and
right of the applicant to make representations under paragraph (5) concerning the proposal.
Where the licensing authority gives notice to the applicant under paragraph (4)—
the applicant may, not later than the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which notice under paragraph (4) is given, make representations in writing to the licensing authority concerning the proposal, and
if any such representations are made within the period referred to in sub-paragraph (a), the licensing authority must take those representations into consideration before deciding whether or not to grant an authorisation or approval subject to a condition or conditions or to refuse the application.
