New Premises Licence Applications
Applying for a Premises Licence involves more than simply completing an application form. Your application must clearly explain the activities you intend to carry out, the proposed hours and the steps you will take to promote the four licensing objectives.
We can help you prepare a clear and comprehensive application that reflects the way your business will operate.
The four licensing objectives are:
- The prevention of crime and disorder
- Public safety
- The prevention of public nuisance
- The protection of children from harm
A carefully prepared application can help reduce the risk of misunderstandings, unnecessary objections and delays during the licensing process.
Operating Schedule & Licensing Conditions
An important part of a Premises Licence application is the operating schedule. This sets out how the premises will operate and the measures proposed to promote the licensing objectives.
Our team can assist with reviewing your proposed activities, operating hours and management arrangements to help ensure that the application accurately reflects your business.
Licensing Authority Liaison
Once an application has been submitted, there may be communication with the Licensing Authority and other responsible authorities. If representations are made, additional steps may be required, including potentially attending a licensing hearing.
We can provide ongoing support throughout the process and help you respond appropriately to licensing queries or objections.
