For small changes to a premises licence, including reducing the hours during which you sell alcohol, removing licensable conditions or making small changes to the premises layout, you may apply for a Minor Variation of the Licence.

For all changes to the licence other than minor changes, including changes to operating hours, conditions of the licence or licensable activities, you must apply for a Full Variation of the Licence. Licence holders who are individuals will be required to submit proof of entitlement to work in the UK with every application for a variation.

To change the person named on the licence as responsible for the sale of alcohol, you must apply for a Variation to specify a Designated Premises Supervisor.

Anyone you wish to nominate as DPS must complete a form providing their Consent to be a Designated Premises Supervisor.

To change the person named as the holder of a premises licence, you must apply to Transfer a Premises Licence.

The outgoing licence holder in the event of a transfer should submit their Consent to Transfer a Premises Licence.

For changes to the legal name and or address of the licence holder or the Designated Premises Supervisor, you must submit a Notification of a Change of Name or Address.

In the event of a change to the DPS, the outgoing DPS (or the licence holder on their behalf) must submit a Request to be Removed as Designated Premises Supervisor.

In the event of the death, incapacity or insolvency of the licence holder, a person with a legal interest in the premises or with an appropriate connection to the licence holder may, within 28 days of the death, incapacity or insolvency, submit an Interim Authority Notice, declaring their interest and preventing the revocation of the licence so that they may apply to have it transferred.

Persons other than the licence holder, with a property interest in the licensed premises may give a Notice of Interest, entitling them to be notified of any change relating to the premises made to the council’s register.
