Regulation 7 Refusal, revocation and suspension of licence

A local authority may revoke or suspend a licence if the holder has been convicted of an offence under the Act or of any Regulations made under it or has failed to comply with the terms of a licence granted to him under these Regulations.

If a local authority intends to refuse to grant or renew a licence or intends to modify, suspend or revoke a licence, it shall forthwith give written notice to the applicant or, as the case may be, the licence holder of its intention in the matter.

Except where a licence is modified in accordance with an application made by the licence holder, every notice under paragraph (2) above shall include a statement of the grounds on which the intention is based.

Before refusing, modifying, suspending or revoking any licence the local authority shall give the applicant or licence holder an opportunity to make representations.
