Licensing

Noise can be problematic for venues near residential areas, especially when trading late into the evening.

Whether you are looking to protect an existing trading license or to extend its hours, it is essential to be able to provide your local authority with the necessary evidence. We offer assessments and expert testimony to help you get back in control:

• Due Diligence Check-Up: We review your existing procedures to ensure compliance. This can be completed through desktop study and a video call.

• Site Visit and Consultation: We can inspect your premises and provide advice on how best to protect your license or maximise your hours.

• Local Authority Liaison: We can speak to the local authority on your behalf to reach agreeable solutions.

• Detailed Noise Survey: We conduct comprehensive noise impactassessments to quantify impacts of noise and identify other noise sources in the area. We can use this evidence when license is at risk or if you need to challenge the Local Authority at a hearing.

• Expert Witness Services: We provide expert testimony at hearings and support you throughout legal matters.
