Gambling Act 2005 · 2005 c. 19View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 8: Premises Licences

A premises licence—

may not authorise the use of premises for activities of more than one of the kinds specified in section 150(a) to (e) (subject to sections 172 to 174 and subsection (2) below), and
may not be issued in respect of premises if a premises licence already has effect in relation to the premises (subject to subsection (3)).

Subsection (1)(a) does not apply in the case of a track.

More than one premises licence may have effect in relation to a track provided that—

each licence relates to a specified area of the track, and
not more than one premises licence has effect in relation to any area of the track.

If a person applies for a premises licence in respect of an area of a track ("a subsidiary licence") and a premises licence already has effect in respect of the whole track or a part of the track that includes that area ("the main licence")—

the application for the subsidiary licence must be accompanied by an application under section 187 to vary the main licence so that it does not have effect in relation to the area to which the subsidiary licence is to relate, and
the application for the subsidiary licence may be granted only after, or together with, the grant of the application for variation.
