Dave. Applying for licence will be same cost whatever you apply for. But we don't knowthe cost yet. Local authorities are lobbying hard...

You see the ones like Camden that charged £20,000 for a PEL have to make it up somewhere or put it on the community charge, or cut services. Turd, swimming pool, you get the picture!

John, the small premises condition suspension, and the unamplified music condition suspension are now in the right place, because by law they suspend conditions, rather than dealing with the definition of or exemption from the status of, regulated entertainment. They have such effect as they have - whatever the wordingmeans.

I'm a bit boggled by the thought that a piano (not on the operating plan) is illegal until you start to have unamplified music, butthen becomes legal, and then becoes illegal again when the music stops.
