Office of Public Sector Information.
Application Evaluation Process
The TEN must be given in writing, in duplicate, to Peterborough
City Council at least ten days before the event, the day of the
event and the day of submission do not count towards the ten
working days notice. A fee is payable with the notice
of £21.00 to Peterborough City Council.
Peterborough City Council will acknowledge receipt of the notice
by giving a notice to the premises user before the end of the first
working day it was received or before the end of the second working
day if the day the notice was received is not a working day.
The premises user must also give notice to the chief officer of
the local police department no later than ten working days before
the event period (If you are applying online Peterborough
City Council Licensing Team will serve a copy of the notice on
the Police for you). The chief police officer
who receives a notice and believes that the event would undermine
crime prevention objectives can serve an objection notice to
Peterborough City Council and the premises user. This notice must
be served within 48 hours of receipt of the temporary event
notice.
Peterborough City Council must hold a hearing if an objection
notice is served. Peterborough City Council may issue a counter
notice if it considers it necessary for the promotion of crime
prevention objective. A decision must be made at least 24 hours
before the beginning of the event. A police chief may modify the
TEN with the consent of the premises user. In such a case an
objection notice will be deemed to have been withdrawn.Counter
notices may be provided by Peterborough City Council if the number
of permitted TENs has been exceeded.
