Licensing Act 2003

 

News

 

The Minor Variations process is in effect from 29 July 2009. An application costs £89.  and a copy of the Minor Variations application form are available online.

 

An application for the mandatory alcohol condition under the Licensing Act 2003 requiring a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) in respect of a premises licence to be disapplied costs £23 for those community premises already with a DPS wishing to transfer responsibility to the management committee. Those community premises seeking to change the DPS requirement alongside a new premises licence application or an application to vary an existing premises licence to add alcohol sales will simply pay the appropriate full fee for the new application or variation. In these cases, there is no additional cost to apply for the disapplication of the requirement for a DPS, but the appropriate application form should be enclosed with the premises licence application

The Licensing Act 2003 came into force on the 24th November 2005. Local Authorities are now responsible for licensing alcohol and other activities within the Council area.

 

The change in law affects everyone. The most noticeable is the end of 'permitted hours'. Instead of a fixed closing time, bars and clubs and other premises are allowed to open during the hours they choose, subject to representations from others. Rules about the selling of alcohol to under 18's have been tightened up and simplified, and the rules about children's access to licensed premises have also changed.

 

A licence is required for the following activities:

  • To sell alcohol by retail
  • If you are a qualifying club, to supply alcohol to a club member, or to sell alcohol to a guest of a club member
  • To provide Regulated Entertainment
  • To sell late night refreshment - hot food and drink between 11pm and 5am for consumption on and off the premises, unless you are a hotel, staff canteen or campsite
