Common confusion points
Confusing 'Suitability' with 'Licensing': Form 69.5 proves the *place* is suitable; the certificate grants permission to *operate*.
Not knowing which specific Courts Service office handles your application.
Thinking you need this form even if you already have a restaurant license (if that license is old, check its validity).
Mistaking it for an appeal notice when you are actually applying for the declaration initially.
