2.6 Temporary event notices2.6.1 The Licensing Act 2003 allows small scale events (for less than 500 people at a timeand lasting no longer than 96 hours) which include any licensable activities to be heldwithout the need for a premises licence. However advance notice must be given to theLicensing Authority and the Metropolitan Police (Revised guidance, paragraphs 7.3and 7.21).2.6.2 Under the Licensing Act 2003, the number of temporary events notices that apersonal licence holder can give is limited to 50 a year. People who are not personallicence holders can only give notice of 5 events in any one year. The number oftimes premises can be used in one year is limited to 12 over 15 days. In any othercircumstances, a full premises licence or club premises certifi cate would be requiredfor the period of the event involved (revised Guidance, paragraphs 7.5 and 7.7).2.6.3 Although the statutory notice for temporary events notices to the Licensing Authorityand the police is 10 working days, the council would prefer that organisers give aminimum one month’s notice of a temporary event. One month’s notice is desirableto check that the limitations set down in the Act are being observed, and that thereare no limitations or restrictions under other legislation (revised Guidance, paragraphs7.9 -7.11 and 7.28), and to hold a hearing if there are objections from the police onthe grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder or they seek the notice to bemodifi ed (revised Guidance, paragraph 7.26). The police must make their objectionwithin 48 hours. It will facilitate the police’s consideration, and may prevent anobjection and thus a delay in the authorisation of a Temporary Event Notice. A delaywould occur if a risk assessment form is not completed for any event that increaseslicensable hours, involves music and dancing, has a capacity for more than fi ftypeople, increases in the capacity of a venue, or changes in the everyday use of thevenue. This form is available on atwww.met.police.uk/events/forms/form_696.pdfThe completion of the police’s debrief formwww.met.police.uk/events/forms/form_696a.docafter the event can assist in the planning and authorisation of future events.2.6.4 Organisers may choose to notify the Licensing Authority and the Police of multipleevents at a single time (revised Guidance, paragraph 7.16). Organisers of outdoorevents are strongly advised to contact the council’s Special Events Team.78
2.6.5 The council’s Community Protection team may visit a permitted temporary eventheld under the terms of the Temporary Event Notice. Although the police are the onlybody able to intervene to prevent such an event taking place the council remains theenforcement authority under the Livensing Act 2003 and may monitor the event toensure it is in accordance with it and with other associated legislation (eg pollution,health and safety etc) if necessary.2.6.6 The Fire Authority will receive notice of these events from the council and will give fi resafety advice on request. They may also carry out visits to events, and take any actionnecessary under fi re safety legislation that they enforce.79
