(1) Any person intending to construct or alter any premises, or being interested in any premises about to be constructed or altered, and desiring to apply for a licence, or to have the transfer to him of a licence, authorising sale of liquor in the premises which are to be constructed or altered, or in any part thereof, after completion of construction or alteration, or desiring to remove his business from the premises described in his licence to the premises which are to be constructed or altered, or to any part thereof, after completion of construction or alteration, shall before constructing, altering or acquiring the premises, apply to the Board in the form to the effect of the Third Schedule and submit together with the application plans, specifications and whatever other information the Board may require. (2) The provisions of this Act applicable to an application for a certificate authorising the issue of a licence shall apply to an application under this section except that the notice required to be affixed on the premises under section 18 of this Act shall, in case of premises to be constructed, be put up conspicuously on or at the site proposed for the premises. (3) If the Board is satisfied that the premises would be suitable for the specific use as licensed premises to which it is intended to be part, it may, but only subject to other provisions and requirements of this Act being satisfied, grant a provisional certificate. (4) Notwithstanding the grant of a provisional certificate, the Board may refuse to grant a certificate authorising the issue of a licence if the premises are not constructed or altered in accordance with the plans approved by the Board.
