The Authority did not err in law: objections are confined to s35(1) matters and cannot be used as a 'Trojan horse' for broader social policy objections about proliferation; the appellant failed to adduce cogent evidence or reports demonstrating a causal nexus between the grant of the licence and increased alcohol abuse, and the police and licensing inspector did not oppose the application, so the Authority's grant and findings of suitability were lawful.
