FHDDS37000 - Temporary approval

Legislation introduced in July 2021 now allows businesses who have had their FHDDS registration refused or revoked, and are seeking a review and/or appeal of that decision, to apply for temporary approval to trade during the review and appeal process.

Businesses need to be able to demonstrate a requirement for it with detailed evidence. Applications for temporary approval are sent direct to a specialist team. This team then considers the application and the process is deliberately independent from the original decision making officers. The DMO will be informed of any decision reached by the specialist team.
