(1)Proposals under section 109 of this Act may include provision whereby during such period (in this section referred to as “the interim period”) as may be specified in the proposals subsection (2) of this section shall apply to any place specified in the proposals for the situation of licensed premises.
(2)While, by virtue of proposals under section 109 of this Act that have been confirmed, this subsection applies to any place, premises situated at that place shall not be treated for the purposes of section 4(2) or section 5(4) of this Act as not being structurally adapted to the class of licence required or, as the case may be, to the licence by reason only of the materials of which the premises are constructed or to be constructed or of the fact that the premises were constructed or have been used for other purposes.
(3)Nothing in subsection (2) of this section shall require justices to grant a new justices’ licence for, or the removal of a justices’ licence to, premises situated at the said place if in their opinion the premises are not proper to be used for the purpose.
(4)Where licensing justices grant a new justices’ licence or the removal of a justices’ licence by virtue of subsection (2) of this section they shall certify that they have so granted it; and unless a licence so granted is previously removed, otherwise than by virtue of that subsection, to other premises at the same place or removed to premises at a different place, it shall become void on the expiry of the interim period.
(5)Where proposals under section 109 of this Act include such provision as is authorised by subsection (1) of this section, proposals of the committee for other places at which licensed premises should be established may include provision whereby the proposals shall not have effect until the expiry of the interim period or such earlier date as the committee may from time to time determine.
