Apply for a full variation of a premises licence

Pre-application Advice for Licensing Act 2003

We offer a pre-application advice service to support applicants who are considering making an application for a licence

This is either in person onsite or remotely via Teams

Contact [email protected] for details including costs.

Please note: this is not a fast-track service.

You need to apply for a full variation if you hold a premises licence and want to amend your licence. For example, to extend your licensing hours between 23:00 and 07:00 or if you want to increase the amount of time you sell alcohol.

Restrictions

You must be 18 or over to apply for a full variation of a premises licence.

Displaying your licence

Part A of the updated licence should be kept safely at the premises. Police or council officers can ask to inspect them at any time.

You must display the updated Part B, the licence summary, at your premises where it can be easily seen.
