Licensing conditions may not always apply

Some activities have been 'deregulated' and no longer require a licence. This means that some conditions on premises licences might not apply in specific situations.

For example, a licence may state that “doors and windows must be closed when regulated entertainment is taking place.” However, this condition may not apply between 8am and 11pm if the activity is covered by one of the exceptions listed below.

These conditions can be reinstated if the premises licence is reviewed.
