155. (1) Subject to section 154 and subsections (2), (4), (5) and (6), the AHRRA shall determine a licence application by— | ||
(a) granting a licence to the applicant authorising the applicant to undertake the proposed relevant activity (whether in whole or in part) the subject of the application under and in accordance with the provisions of the licence and this Act, and— | ||
(i) at the premises specified in the licence for the purpose, and | ||
(ii) subject to such conditions (if any) attached to the licence by virtue of section 156 (1) as the AHRRA thinks fit, | ||
or | ||
(b) giving a notice in writing to the applicant refusing to grant a licence to undertake the proposed relevant activity the subject of the application. | ||
(2) The AHRRA shall, to the extent practicable, determine a licence application not later than 90 days after the day on which the AHRRA is satisfied that the applicant has complied with all the requirements of or under this Part in so far as they relate to the application. | ||
(3) Where the AHRRA— | ||
(a) grants a licence for part only of the proposed relevant activity the subject of the licence application concerned, | ||
(b) grants a licence to which conditions are attached by virtue of section 156 (1), or | ||
(c) refuses to grant a licence, | ||
the AHRRA shall, at the same time, give the applicant notice in writing of the reasons for the partial grant, conditions or refusal, as the case may be. | ||
(4) A licence shall include the following at a minimum: | ||
(a) the name of the holder of the licence; | ||
(b) the physical address of the premises at which the relevant activity the subject of the licence may be undertaken and (if applicable) the electronic address of such premises; | ||
(c) the electronic address of the holder; | ||
(d) the nature of the relevant activity the subject of the licence. | ||
(5) Subject to subsection (6), a licence shall not authorise the undertaking of a relevant activity at more than one premises and any licence that purports to do so shall be void. | ||
(6) Subsection (5) shall not apply to a relevant activity which falls within paragraph (b) of the definition of “relevant activity” but without prejudice to the AHRRA’s discretion to grant a licence authorising the undertaking of such activity at only one premises specified in the licence. |
