Temporary Event Notice
Late TENs
In exceptional circumstances the law allows us to accept a TEN submitted between five and nine working days before the event. The latest you can apply for a “late Ten” is five working days(any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, Christmas Day, Good Friday or any Bank holiday)before the event (but not earlier than nine working days). You must also exclude the day the notice is received and the first day of the event
Late TENs should only be used in exceptional circumstances as you run the very real risk that the event may not be able to take place if we receive an objection to the notice. If that happens then we have no alternative but to serve a counter notice on the notice giver. If that happens the event can’t go ahead as the law doesn’t allow for an appeal with a late TEN.
The number of late notices that can be given in any one calendar year is limited to 10 for personal licence holders and 2 for non-personal licence holders. These count towards the total number of temporary event notices (i.e. 50 temporary event notices per year for personal licence holders and 5 temporary event notices for non-personal licence holders).
