Philip Davies

 

NC7

 

To move the following Clause:—

 

‘(1)    

A relevant local authority may consider and, if thought fit, grant an application to

 

vary a converted casino premises licence so that it relates to premises to which it

 

did not previously relate and may do so regardless of whether or not—

 

(a)    

the premises to which the application relates are situated in the area of the

 

relevant local authority which issued the licence; and

 

(b)    

the area of the relevant local authority in which those premises are

 

situated was a permitted area when the converted casino premises licence

 

was originally issued.

 

(2)    

Subsection (1) shall not require a relevant local authority to consider any

 

application to vary a converted casino premises licence if that local authority has

 

passed a resolution under section 166 of the Gambling Act 2005 (resolution not

 

to issue casino licences) and that resolution is in effect at the time the application

 

is made.

 

(3)    

In Schedule 4 to the Gambling Act 2005 (Commencement No. 6 and Transitional

premises licences granted on a conversion application) substitute—

 

“(13)  

An application to vary a converted casino premises licence so that it

 

relates to premises to which it did not previously relate shall be

 

made—

 

(a)    

in the case of premises wholly or partly situated in the area of

 

the licensing authority which issued the licence, to that

 

licensing authority; or

 

(b)    

in the case of premises wholly or partly situated in the area of

 

another licensing authority, to that other licensing authority,

Localism Bill, continued

 
 

            

and section 213(f) (definition of licensing authority) shall apply to

licence.

 

    (14)  

Nothing in paragraph (13)(b) shall require a licensing authority to

 

consider or grant an application to vary a converted casino premises

 

licence so that it relates to premises to which it did not previously

 

relate if—

 

(a)    

the premises are wholly or partly situated in the area of a

 

licensing authority which did not issue the licence; and

 

(b)    

the licensing authority has resolved under section 166 not to

 

issue casino premises licences and that resolution is in effect

 

at the time the application is made.”.
