Gambling Act 2003

Gambling - Licensing of class 4 gambling - Territorial authority consent

98: When territorial authority consent required

You could also call this:

"When you need permission from the local council to make changes to a gambling venue"

You need a territorial authority consent in certain situations. If a corporate society wants to add more gaming machines at a class 4 venue, you must get consent. This includes if they are applying for a new licence or changing an existing one, and even if they are asking for ministerial discretion under section 95 or 96.

You also need consent if a corporate society applies for a class 4 venue licence and no corporate society has held a licence for that venue in the last 6 months. If a corporate society wants to move a class 4 venue to a different location, following the territorial authority's relocation policy, you must get consent. This is because the territorial authority needs to approve certain changes to class 4 venues.
