Needing support from the NLCA?

If you would like support in making a comment, you are welcome to contact Roy Skam, NLCA Licensing Coordinator (tel 326415), Sandy Crowhurst, NLCA Licensing Coordinator (tel 681089), or myself, Peter Crowhurst, Vice-Chair of NLCA (tel 681089). Objections need to be on grounds of meeting the licensing objectives and to come from people who live in the immediate vicinity.

The licensing objectives are: prevention of crime and disorder; public safety; the prevention of public nuisance; and the protection of children from harm.

You have the right to make a personal appearance at the Licensing Panel Hearing but you will need to have made a written objection within the 28 days from publication of the application. The Licensing Department will pass your comments on to the applicant to give a chance for a resolution to be agreed. If this does not happen, then the Council will invite you to make a personal appearance at a hearing. Your local councillor will be willing to speak for you as long as you let him/her know in good time. The NLCA Licensing Coordinators will also support you at a hearing if you wish. However, you do not have to appear and your comments will still be considered even if you do not appear personally.

Please feel free to make a comment below on any application affecting the North Laine.
