A Temporary Event Notice (TEN) can be given to permit any of the licensable
activities to take place. The TEN is subject to limits on the number of such
notices that can be given by an individual to licensing authorities
(5 for an individual over 18 years or 50 for a Personal Licence Holder). The
number of TENs that can be made for specific premises is not more than
twelve in any year. This is subject to a maximum total duration of the periods
covered by TENs at any individual premises to not more than 15 days in any year.
The number of persons allowed on the premises at any one time must not exceed
499.
Gosport Borough Council Licensing Authority encourages all applicants to give
the Licensing Authority and Hampshire Police as much advance notice as possible.
A reasonable period of notice of a temporary event taking place would be by
submitting the Temporary Event Notice and copies to each organisation 20 working
days (Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:00) before the day of the event.
It is acknowledged that the statutory minimum period of notice is 10 working days.
We must therefore advise that applications received with less than 10 working
days notice will not be considered.
Section 193 of the Act defines “working day” as any day other than a Saturday, a
Sunday, Christmas Day, Good Friday, or a day which is a bank holiday under the
Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 in England and Wales. “Ten working days
notice” means ten working days exclusive of the day on which the event is to
start, and exclusive of the day on which the notice is given.
