the application or licence, without causing undue interference with or

renewal, or holding the licence proposed to be revoked or varied, not less
than seven days' previous notice in writing that objections have been or will
be taken to such renewal, or that a revocation or variation is proposed, and
unless, on written application made within seven days after the receipt of
such notice, they have afforded to such person an opportunity of being heard
