are situated at a location where they will be of service to the public; and
will not cause inconvenience to the occupiers of neighbouring property.
A moratorium on the granting of any new licences in the Islands may be made by the Cabinet by Order published in the Gazette, such Order appointing the date of commencement and expiration of the moratorium and different dates may be appointed in relation to different categories of licences.
Subsection (2) does not apply to —
occasional licences;
renewal of a licence; or

In considering the suitability of premises for service to the public, Boards shall have regard to any representations made by or on behalf of the Commissioner, the Chief Fire Officer and the Executive Secretary of the Central Planning Authority as well as members of the public who may be directly affected by the grant of a licence.
Subsections (1) and (2) do not apply to licences issued under section 7(7), but in granting licences under that subsection the Board shall consult and have regard to any advice tendered by the Commissioner, the Chief Medical Officer, the Chief Fire Officer and the Port Authority and no licence so granted shall, in any way, derogate from the control exercisable by the Port Authority over such vessel.
