Short answer
Premises licence summary review enquiries should identify the police application, serious crime or disorder allegation, interim steps, premises licence, DPS position, incident records, operating schedule, hearing dates and any magistrates court appeal timing. Legal4U cannot decide what licensing conditions are appropriate.
