If this has really been about one single event( which I don't think most would object to) why, as previously mentioned, not apply for a single event licence.
If the purpose is to cut down admin, which I'm all in favour of, and have it covers the other established events, why not apply for a licence that allows up to four one day events a year? Why have Wednesdays through to Sundays all year written in to the licence? Is it any wonder that local residents smell a rat!!
