From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
application, having made previous licensing applications, not least where no fee had been paid. … The Respondents did not obtain other confirmation from the Council that it possessed a completed application for the Property. … The Tribunal accepted that there was a degree of scope for potential uncertainty where other applications, for renewal, had been made but not finalised. However, reasonably the Respondents could not expect there to be any potential for the grant of a licence in this instance where they had not submitted the actual application and paid the fee. There was nothing which could be awaiting processing where no application had been made. … The Tribunal did not accept that there had been a “glitch”, certainly not on the part of the Council. That term suggests something went awry on the part of the Council in processing an application. However, there was none identified- there had been no application. There is no identifiable error on the Council’s part. The Tribunal did not accept any suggestion of blame on the part of the Council as appropriate. … Most significantly, the Respondents let the Property long before they made the application and long before they had sought and obtained any confirmation that a completed application had been received. …
