Track display and evidence

The legal requirement
Under Regulation 25 of SI 2005/42, new premises licence applications, new club premises certificates, provisional statements and full variations must be advertised in both a local newspaper (Reg 25(b)) and by displaying a blue notice on the premises (Reg 25(a)).
The newspaper notice must appear within 10 working days — specifically, on at least one occasion during the period starting on the day after the application is given to the licensing authority. Separately, a 28-day representation period begins the day after the application is submitted (SI 2005/42 Reg 25(a) made under Licensing Act 2003 s.17(5)(c)) — the newspaper notice does not trigger or start that period.
If the notice is not published within the 10-working-day window — or appears in the wrong newspaper — the licensing authority may require corrective action or re-advertising, delaying the application. The licensing authority decides how to handle a defective notice.
The simplified minor-variation route uses a white site notice, not a newspaper advert. Minor variations and Temporary Event Notices (TENs) do not require newspaper advertising. See the statutory guidance issued under section 182.
This direct route covers supported Licensing Act 2003 applications in England and Wales. Gambling and sex-establishment notices use different statutory wording and remain assisted. Gazetted organises the newspaper and site-notice tasks but does not submit the underlying licence application.
Timing: two separate requirements
The 28-day representation period starts the day after the application is given to the licensing authority (SI 2005/42 Reg 25(a)). It runs regardless of when the newspaper notice appears.
Separately, the newspaper notice must be published within 10 working days of that same starting point (Regulation 25(b)). It does not trigger or restart the 28-day period.
Tell us when the application was given to the authority so we can check newspaper availability against the 10-working-day window before you order.
