94: Application for territorial authority consent

You could also call this:

“Asking your local council for permission to open a TAB venue”

If you want to open a TAB venue, you need to ask your local council for permission. This is called applying for a territorial authority consent. You must send your application to the council that looks after the area where you want to put your TAB venue. When you apply, you need to give the council all the information they ask for. This helps them understand your application and decide if they will give you permission. Make sure you include everything they need, so they can look at your application properly.
