Occasional Use Notices
Where there is betting on a track for eight or less days in a
calendar year, betting may be permitted by an Occasional Use
Notice without the need for a full Premises Licence.
A track means:
- (a) a horse racecourse;
- (b) a dog track;
- (c) any other premises or any part of a premises on which a
race or other sporting event takes or is intended to take
place.
The track does not have to be a permanent fixture and can be
used for other purposes when not being utilised as a track.
No gaming machines may be provided under the provisions of an
Occasional Use Notice
Procedure
A notice must be served on the Licensing Authority by the
occupier of the land or a person who is responsible for the
administration of events on the track.
Notices may be given in relation to consecutive days provided
that the limit of eight days in a calendar year is not
exceeded.
Provided that the notice will not result in betting facilities
being made available for more than 8 days in any calendar year,
there is no provision for any counter notices or objections to be
submitted.
