Statement of Policy about Relevant Convictions
When submitting an application for a SEV Licence you are requested to declare any convictions or cautions you
may have unless they are regarded as “spent” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, 1974. The information you
give will be treated in confidence and will only be taken into account in relation to your application.
The disclosure of a criminal record or other information will not debar you from gaining a licence unless the
Authority considers that the conviction or caution renders you unsuitable. In making this decision the Authority
will consider the nature of the offence, how long ago and what age you were when it was committed and any other
factors, which may be relevant.
Any applicant refused a SEV Licence on certain specific grounds has a right of appeal to a Magistrates’ Court.
However, not all grounds of refusal carry a right of appeal. Further information on rights of appeal is available by
contacting the Licensing Team.
If you would like to discuss what effect a conviction or caution might have on your application you may contact
the Council’s Licensing Team.
