Dear Craig and Steven,
We’ve just been informed by one of our members that Licensing is intending to
(1) treat the template objection which has now been completed by 619 individuals as a single objection
(2) not invite all objectors, including none of the template objectors, to address the Committee.
If this is true, please could you supply the legal basis for these decisions.
I would point out that in relation to (1) planning objections that use a template are all treated as individual objections.
In relation to (2) I would draw your attention to the statement on the notice pinned to the proposed booking office in Rosyth:
“Any objection / representation submitted to the Licensing Team will be copied in full to the applicant. It is likely that the person making the objection / representation will be invited to attend the Regulation & Licensing Committee to speak in support of their objection / representation prior to the application being determined”.
We would appreciate a speedy response to these queries.
Best wishes
James
