Application process
An application for a minor variation must be
made to the licensing authority for the area in which the club
premise is situated.
The application must be accompanied by:
Under this process the application must be
made on the prescribed form and it will be necessary for the
applicant to display a notice at the club premises. A template
notice and guidance on the requirements for its format are provided
under supplementary information.
The licensing authority must grant an application only if it
considers that none of the variations proposed in the application
could have an adverse effect on the promotion of any of the
licensing objectives. In any other case the authority must reject
the application.
This procedure is in contrast to the normal
procedure for the variation of a club premises certificate,
where the applicant must give notice of the application to each
responsible authority, and where the application must be referred
to a licensing hearing (consisting of councillors) in the event
that a responsible authority or interested party makes a relevant
representation.
