Lisa Hastings, Corporate Director for Law and Governance at Tendring District Council, said: "We can confirm that a Late Temporary Event Notice (Late TEN) was submitted in relation to an event on Thursday, 13 August, at Great Oakley Airfield.

"This notice was refused, and a counter-notice served, as it was not submitted within the statutory timescales required under the Licensing Act 2003.  No authorisation was therefore granted under a Late Temporary Event Notice for the event.

"As the matter may now involve potential enforcement considerations, Tendring District Council is unable to comment further on any ongoing or potential investigations by Licensing or other council departments; nor provide any further details about the Late TEN submission."
