A Temporary Event Notice is to be used to authorise licensable
activities (regulated entertainment, the sale or supply of alcohol
and late night refreshment) lasting not more than 4 days for 499
people or less.
The following information is applicable for premises in the
Waveney District Council area.
There are restrictions on numbers of TENs possible for an
individual/premises and these are explained in the notes on the TEN
form.
The form should be submitted to the Licensing Team at least 10
working days before the event. However it would be helpful if you
could give us as much notice as possible for the event as the
police or consultees, may object to the event.
If the police do make an objection there may have to be a hearing
and obviously it would be better for everyone concerned if this
took place in good time before the event.
The original application and 1 copy, plus the fee of £21 for each
event (cheques to be made payable to Waveney District Council)
should be sent to the Licensing Team, Waveney District Council, PO
Box 190, Lowestoft, NR32 1WX.
An additional copy of the application form should be sent to the
police at the following address; Duty Inspector, Lowestoft
Administration Office, Suffolk Constabulary, Police Station, Old
Nelson Street, Lowestoft, Suffolk, NR32 1PE. The envelope should be
clearly marked “Temporary Event Notice Application” and they may be
submitted any time Monday to Thursday but before mid-day on
Friday.
If no objections are received from the police, we will stamp and
sign the copy of the application and return it to you as
acknowledgement of receipt of the TEN. This should be kept safely
and should either be prominently displayed on the premises during
the event, or be kept in the custody of the premises user or a
nominated person, and a notice displayed at the premises to this
effect.
Should you require any further information please do not hesitate
