If an applicant wishes to make representations in respect of a decision to refuse a street trading consent, they can put this in writing along with the reasons to the licensing section (licensing@gravesham.gov.uk) within 14 days of being notified of the decision.
The representation will be carefully reviewed by the Head of Community Protection, who will consider whether the action taken was reasonable and proportionate, before communicating the final decision to the applicant.
