The Licensing Act is pretty clear on this. The Act requires at least ten clear working days notice to the licensing authority when submitting a Temporary Event Notice. 10 clear working days excludes the day the notice is received and the day of the event.
So therefore an application submitted on Sunday would be processed on a Monday and the 10 days would begin on the Tuesday. A pain, but quite reasonable as the 10 day waiting period is to give anyone who may be affected by the licence an opportunity to make representations - the consultation period is after application and not before.
