Event application deadlines

In order to review your application thoroughly we require specific timescales for event application submission. This helps us to determine measures that may be required to be undertaken in order that you are able to host a successful event. These will include the timescale for your event to traverse the Safety Advisory Group process, whether road closures or additional licences are required or whether a resident impact assessment needs to be undertaken.
