—The licensee
—A person who made representations on the review

—The gambling Commission
An appeal must be brought:
—In England and Wales, in the magistrates' court for the local justice area in which the premises are wholly or partly situated; or
—In Scotland, to the sheriff within whose sheriffdom the premises are wholly or partly situated.
An appeal must be brought within 21 days of the date on which the applicant received notice of the licensing authority's decision.

—the form of the notice under section 203(1) of the 2005 Act setting out a licensing authority's decision on a review of a premises licence.
Regulation 3 requires an application for a review of a premises licence to be in the form, and contain the information, specified in Schedule 1.
Regulation 4 requires a person applying for a review of a premises licence to give a notice of his application to the person holding the premises licence and to the responsible authorities in relation to the premises. Regulation 4 specifies the period within which the notice is to be given, and the form of the notice. In particular it provides for the notice to be in the form specified in Schedule 2.
Regulation 5 requires the licensing authority to which an application for a review is made to publish notice of the application in the ways described in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph (1). Paragraphs (3) and (4) specify the period within which publication must take place. Regulation 5 also specifies the form of the notices.

In such a case, the period by which (as the case may be) the premises licence holder or the responsible authority is required to make representations is extended so that it runs until the end of the period of 28 days beginning on the date on which the notice in the proper form and manner is received.

In particular, it provides for a notice given under section 200(3)(a) to be in the form specified in Schedule 4; and for a notice published under section 200(3)(b) to be in the form specified in Schedule 5. Regulation 8 also makes provision about the period within which a notice under section 200(3)(b) must be given or published and the manner of publication.
Regulation 9 makes provision for those cases where the licensing authority gives notice under section 200(3)(a) of the 2005 Act to the holder of the premises licence, but the notice does not comply with the requirements of the Regulations as to the form and manner for the giving of the notice. In such a case the notice is of no effect and the licensing authority must give a further notice to the person concerned.
