Yes, West Lothian Council allows late applications, but only for emergency or unforeseen events, with specific conditions. Below is a summary of the key points regarding late applications:
| Criteria | Details |
|---|---|
| Notice Required | Minimum of 72 hours before the event. |
| Form Required | Completion of the 'Emergency and Unforeseen Events' form explaining the situation is necessary. |
| Examples of Considered Events | Funerals and events relocated due to property damage. |
| Eligibility | Applications due to failure to meet deadlines or last-minute bookings are generally not accepted. |
| Decision Authority | The Convenor of the Board will determine if the late application can be accepted. |
| Processing Guarantee | Acceptance for processing does not guarantee a decision will be made before the event. |
If you're considering submitting a late application, ensure you provide clear reasons that fit within these guidelines. You can find more details and download the necessary form on the occasional licence webpage.
