51 General provisions relating to licence-related authorisations

(1) This section applies to the following authorisations granted by the Authority under this Act—

(a) an extended trading authorisation,

(b) a drink on-premises authorisation,

(c) any other authorisation that may be granted by the Authority under Part 3 (other than a licence),

(d) a minors area authorisation,

(e) a minors functions authorisation,

(f) a minors authorisation.

(2) An application for an authorisation to which this section applies must—

(a) be in the form and manner approved by the Authority (or, in the case of an application for an extended trading authorisation for a small bar, by the Secretary), and

(b) be accompanied by the fee prescribed by the regulations and such information and particulars as may be prescribed by the regulations, and

(c) if required by the regulations to be advertised—be advertised in accordance with the regulations, and

(d) comply with such other requirements as may be approved by the Authority (or, in the case of an application for an extended trading authorisation for a small bar, by the Secretary) or prescribed by the regulations.

(3) In determining an application for an authorisation, the Authority has the same powers in relation to the application as the Authority has in relation to an application for a licence. The Authority may determine the application whether or not the Secretary has provided a report in relation to the application.

(4) If, before an application for an authorisation is determined by the Authority, a change occurs in the information provided in, or in connection with, the application (including information provided under this subsection), the applicant must immediately notify the Authority of the particulars of the change.

(5) Any person may, subject to and in accordance with the regulations, make a submission to the Authority in relation to an application for an authorisation.
