Holding a Personal Licence and being a Designated Supervisor is not only a legal requirement, but also is a huge responsibility given to an accountable individual to authorise the sale of alcohol to members of the public. While holding a Personal Licence is a huge duty, will that duty be withdrawn if you have a drink driving ban?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not unusual to question if someone who has been previously reckless with alcohol should have the authority to authorise the sale of alcohol to individuals. That is a question that will be decided by the Licensing Authority when determining your application for a Personal Licence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As part of the application for a Personal Licence, applicants will need to disclose any unspent convictions and relevant offences.<\/p>\n

Is drink driving a relevant offence?<\/h3>\n

Driving when under the influence of drinks or drugs is a \u2018Relevant Offence\u2019 under the Licensing Act 2003 in relation to personal licences.<\/p>\n

What is next?<\/h3>\n

Once it has been confirmed that a relevant offence has been committed, the Licensing Authority will give a notice to the Chief Officer of the police for the area in which you are based. It will then be their decision whether a Personal Licence application will be approved or not.<\/p>\n

The Chief Officer at this stage may issue an objection notice in which case the Licensing Authority must hold a hearing to consider the Police objection. At the hearing the Licensing Authority can refuse to grant you a Personal Licence.<\/p>\n

What can happen?<\/h3>\n

While having a Police objection is not necessarily a deciding factor if a Personal Licence will be granted or not, it can certainly be a huge factor to consider for the Licensing Authority who ultimately have the final decision.<\/p>\n

However, in the case of a drink driving ban and consuming alcohol dangerously it may not come as a surprise to learn that a Personal Licence application may be rejected.<\/p>\n

Remember, Personal Licence holders have a responsibility, that includes being reasonable behind the wheel too.<\/p>\n
