A Personal Licence Holder may apply for 50 TENs (including 10 late TENS) in any calendar year and a non-Personal Licence Holder may apply for 5 TENs (including 2 late TENS) in any calendar year.

Premises can have up to 12 TENs per calendar year, to a maximum of 21 days.

If applying for more than 1 TEN for the same premises there must be at least 24 hours between one TEN ending and another TEN beginning.

The application for a standard TEN must be made at least ten working days before the event (not including weekends or bank holidays).  The application for a late TEN must be served no later than 5 working days before the event but no earlier than 9 working days before the event (not including weekends or bank holidays).

 'working days' means working days not including the day of the event nor the day the notice is served on the Authority.
