Fees

1. Do you agree that the fee for an occasional licence should be increased from the current level of £10?

Please select one item
Yes
No

2. Why?

Comments:
I do not believe that £10 covers the cost of processing an occasional licence

3. Do you agree that £50 is an appropriate new fee level?

Please select one item
Yes
No

4. Why?

Comments:
I believe that £50 would be an appropriate fee for voluntary organisations and members clubs for an occasional licence having effect for a period of less than 4 days but believe that a higher fee would be appropriate for longer term licences and for premises/personal licence holders applying for occasional licences.

5. Do you agree that £75 is an appropriate new fee level?

Please select one item
Yes
No

6. Why?

Comments:
Feel that this could be detrimental to voluntary organisations who are running small events.

7. Do you agree that £100 is an appropriate new fee level?

Please select one item
Yes
No

8. Why?

Comments:
See answer to question 4 above - think this would be a fair amount for longer term occasional licences for voluntary organisations/members clubs and for premises/personal licence holders and feel that the higher fee would discourage attempts by some to use occasional licences as opposed to applying for full premises licences.

9. If you do not think that any of the proposed fee levels are appropriate, what do you believe would be a suitable fee level?

Comments:
N/A

10. What evidence, based on cost recovery, can you supply for an appropriate fee level for occasional licences?

Comments:
No hard evidence

Limits

11. Do you agree that limits should be placed on the number and duration of occasional licences for holders of a premises licence and holders of a personal licence?

Please select one item
Yes
No

12. Why?

Comments:
More concerned about premises rather than individuals using occasional licences to get round additional legislation that would apply to a full premises licence

13. What do you think would be an appropriate limit on the number of occasional licences that could be issued to the same applicant in a 12 month period, and why?

Comments:
N/A

14. What do you think would be an appropriate limit on the number of occasional licences that could be issued to the same premises in a 12 month period, and why?

Comments:
I think restrictions similar to those applied to voluntary organisations at the moment would be acceptable.

15. What do you think would be an appropriate limit on the number of days that occasional licences issued to the same applicant in a 12 month period could have effect, and why?

Comments:
No answer

16. What do you think would be an appropriate limit on the number of days that the occasional licences issued in relation to the same premises in a 12 month period could have effect?

Comments:
14 days

17. What do you think would be an appropriate limit on the number of continuous days that a series of occasional licences can have effect in relation to the same premises?

Comments:
56 days

18. Are there any other comments you wish to make that relate to the occasional licence?

Comments:
None
