Yes, tacit Consent will apply.
This means that you will be able to act as though your application
is granted if you have not heard from the Council by the end of the

days starting on the first working day after the application was
made to the licensing authority.

which (if any) Responsible Authorities it considers
appropriate.
Following this consultation period (consultation period is 14 days
from the day after the application is received), a decision must be
made by the Licensing Authority within a further 5 working
days.

If there any alterations to the rules or name of the club before
an application is determined or after a certificate is issued, the
