Temporary Event Notices (TENs) guidance notes

Note 2

For the purposes of the Licensing Act 2003, “premises” means any place. Premises will therefore not always be a building with a formal address and postcode. Premises can include, for example, public parks, recreation grounds and private land.

If a premises licence or club premises certificate has effect in relation to the premises (or any part of the premises) which you want to use to carry on licensable activities, it is possible that any conditions which apply to the licence or certificate may be imposed on the temporary event notice if certain pre-conditions are met.  These pre-conditions are that the police or the local authority exercising environmental health functions object to the notice and the licensing authority decides:

  • not to give a counter notice under section 105 of the Licensing Act 2003;
  • the conditions apply to the licence or certificate; and
  • the imposition of the conditions on the notice would not be inconsistent with the carrying on of the licensable activities under the notice.
