Apply for or amend a premises licence

There may be a reason why you wish to vary a premises licence. This could be to add or change which licensable activities you do, or the times when you do them.

How to advertise your application

You must place two advertisements of the application during the representation period:

• the first advertisement must be on the outside of the property on light blue A4 paper. The advertisement should be on display for 28 days starting the day after you submit your application. Use this window advertisement (Word doc, 144 KB) 
• the second advertisement should appear in a newspaper within 10 working days of submitting your application. Use this newspaper advertisement (Word doc, 141 KB) 
• send a copy of the advertisement to the licensing unit. If you do not do this it could result in the application being rejected

Will tacit consent apply?

Yes. We have a target completion period of 56 days for this notice. This means if you have not heard from us by the end of this period you can act as though your application is granted.We aim to acknowledge your application and to begin processing it within this period.

Fees
