Schedule 1 to the [1968 c. 54.] Theatres Act 1968 shall apply in relation to applications for the grant, renewal, transfer or variation of licences in respect of premises within a borough as though the following paragraph were substituted for paragraph 2 of that Schedule:—
“2(1)An applicant for the grant, renewal, transfer or variation of a licence under this Act in respect of any premises shall not later than the day the application is made send a copy of the application to the Commissioner of Police in whose area the premises are situated (in this paragraph referred to as “the Commissioner”) and to the London Fire and Civil Defence Authority (in this paragraph referred to as “the fire authority”) and, subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, no such application shall be considered by the licensing authority unless the applicant complies with this sub-paragraph.
(2)Where an application for any such grant, renewal, transfer or variation of a licence has been made and the applicant has failed to send a copy of the application in accordance with the requirement of sub-paragraph (1) above the licensing authority may, in such cases as they think fit and after duly consulting with the party who was not supplied with a copy of the said application, waive such a requirement.
(3)In considering any such application the licensing authority shall have regard to any observations submitted to them by the Commissioner and the fire authority within twenty-eight days of the making of the application and may have regard to any observation submitted by them thereafter.
(4)An applicant for any such grant, renewal, transfer or variation of a licence shall furnish such particulars and give such other notices, including the public advertisement of the application, as the licensing authority may by regulation prescribe.
(5)Regulations under sub-paragraph (4) above may prescribe the procedure for determining applications.”.
