If licenses fees are capped at a rate that means they will not be a "Cash Cow" what is going to be the main incentive for LAs to push for expensive modifications or to oppose licenses ?

I gather that the new licence carge will be a one-off fee. Will it automatically transfer to the new owner when a pub changes hands ?

Does it seem likely that there will be a cap on on the fee charged for varying a license, ie making a later application for entertainment ?
