407: Disposal of applications made between 6 and 12 months after day of assent

You could also call this:

"What happens to alcohol licence applications made 6-12 months after the new law started"

If you make an application under the 1989 Act between 6 and 12 months after the day the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 was agreed to, this section applies to you. You will be dealt with by the licensing authority or District Licensing Agency under the 1989 Act. They will consider your application as if some of the new rules in the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 were part of the 1989 Act.

When the licensing authority or District Licensing Agency looks at your application, they must use the new rules and the 1989 Act in a way that is fair and helps them make a decision quickly. The new rules they use are sections 3, 4, 5, 102, 103, 105, 106, 128, 129, 131, 132, 140, 141, and 142 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. These rules must be interpreted in a way that allows your application to be dealt with fairly and efficiently.
