When you receive confirmation from us that your application is valid, you must also do the following:
- display a notice outside the premises for 28 days (you must print this on pale blue paper)
- give public notice of your application in a local newspaper within 10 working days of the application
Consultation period
Once we receive your application, we will start a 28 day public consultation period.
We will notify and consult with:
- Planning
- The Fire Authority
- The Police
- Trading Standards
- Environmental Health
- Director of Public Health
- Home Office Immigration Enforcement
All of the responsible authorities listed above or any other person can make a representation about an application within the 28 day consultation period.
We must allow 28 days for objections to be made. If we receive any objections, the application will be referred to our Licensing Committee for determination.
If we do not receive any relevant representations against your application, we will grant the licence once the consultation period ends.
How long the licence is valid for
We grant premises licences for the lifetime of your business, dependent on the annual fee being received, or unless we state otherwise. However, we can revoke or suspend your licence if you breach the terms of your licence.
You can also surrender a licence, if you want to.
If you want to vary, transfer or change a designated premises supervisor (DPS), you need to submit an application form via the button on this page.
