Temporary event notices - Can anyone object to a temporary event notice?

Only the police or an environmental health officer may object to a proposed TEN event, if they have concerns that it could cause crime or disorder, and they must do so within 3 working days of receiving their copy of the notice. Should this happen, the person submitting the temporary event notice will be contacted with a view to mediation to try and resolve any difficulties identified. If mediation is unsuccessful the notice will be placed before the Council’s Licensing Sub-Committee for a decision.

There is no recourse to a hearing with respect to a 'late' TEN. The police or Environmental Health Officer’s decision will be final.

If you are a local resident who has been affected by activities authorised through a temporary event notice you should refer to our complaints procedure for advice on what to do.
