COMMENTARY ON SECTIONS General Section 69 – Authorised persons, interested parties and responsible authorities
127.This section defines the terms ‘authorised persons’, ‘interested party’ and ‘responsible authority’. The significance of designation as an ‘authorised person’ is that it confers a role in the inspection of premises in connection with their use for licensable activities. An interested party or responsible authority may make representations to a licensing authority in relation to the grant, variation or review of a club premises certificate.
128.This Part also provides that applicants for club premises certificates must give notice to responsible authorities and advertise applications in a manner likely to bring them to the attention of the interested parties.
