EIther are o.k. but you shouldn't refer to someone as the "licensee" before the license has been granted. If the license was previously granted, it should say "The licensee had". Bet you're glad you asked?I won't mention that grammar is spelled with two "M's". Damn. Guess it's too late now.

Does spelling count?

The application is a form that is written on, right? So, I would go with "on".

I'm sorry. Is my bias showing?
"The applicant..."

Maybe the license was already granted. giff57, what say you?
Oh, yeah:
---> "in the application" ---> when it's an actual application for a university, job, license, etc. Usually precedes the word "for".
--->"on the application" ---> when "application" is a synonym for the gerund, "applying". Usually precedes the word "of".

Ok, is it cul-de-sacs or culs-de-sac?
I hate it when staff reports say that the land use is agricultural. It's not, it's agriculture.

The authoritative Wikipedia, source of all truth and some half-truth, had this to say:They are not typically found in areas where the land use is agricultural (my addition).A cul-de-sac (plural: culs-de-sac), close, or court (American and Australian English) is a dead-end street with only one inlet/outlet.
“Death comes when memories of the past exceed the vision for the future.”
How often do you see application's that have apostrophe's in all of their plural's?
Also, similar to 'culs-de-sac', the proper plural of 'right-of-way' is 'rights-of-way'.
