Licensees are asked to lodge applications as soon as possible to assist with the efficient processing of applications. I would advise that in terms of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, provided an application for renewal of a licence is made before it expires, the existing licence continues to have effect until the Legal & Regulatory Support Kilmory, Lochgilphead PA31 8RT Tel: 01546 604128 Fax: 01546 604373 DX No: 599700 LOCHGILPHEAD e-mail: licensing@argyll-bute.gov.uk Website: www.argyll-bute.gov.uk Our Ref: [XXXX] Date: [as postmark] Appendix 2

licence is renewed or granted or an appeal against the refusal of the application has been either abandoned or determined. I would also advise that all competent applications will take a minimum of 35 days to process from submission as there is a 28 day period in terms of the 1982 Act during which objections or representations may be made, and during which no application can therefore be granted. Any application received after 30 June 2023 cannot be dealt with by way of renewal unless good cause is shown in which case a licensing authority may deem an application made up to 28 days after the expiry date of the licence to be an application made before the expiry of said licence. It is likely that good cause could only arise in circumstances which were beyond the control of the applicant. I would advise that you require to display the enclosed notice duly completed for a period of 21 days from the date that you submit your application to the Council at or near the premises/site so that it can be conveniently read by the public. Once the notice has been displayed for the 21 days you must complete the enclosed Certificate of Compliance and return it to the Licensing Section. Please note that your application cannot be finally dealt with until this certificate has been received. If you have any queries in relation to the renewal process please email licensing@argyll-bute.gov.uk or phone 01546 604128. I look forward to receiving your application and would thank you in advance for your assistance in lodging your application as early as possible. Yours faithfully, DAVID LOGAN Head of Legal & Regulatory Support
