Full Variation to a Premises Licence

​

Once you hold a premises licence you may want to make changes to vary the current licence. The premises licence holder may apply at any time to the licensing authority for a variation of the licence. The type of variation  you will need to submit depends on the extent of the alterations and its impact on the four licensing objectives;

​

• the prevention of crime and disorder

• public safety

• the prevention of public nuisance

• the protection of children from harm

 

If the changes could impact the four licensing objectives, you will need to apply for a full variation. ​

​

For example, if you want to:​

• increase the number of hours that alcohol may be sold on any day 

• extend the opening hours of the premises

• make major changes to the premises or change the layout of the bar area

• make a structural alteration to the licensed area

• authorise the sale of alcohol between 11pm and 7am or

• add the sale by retail of alcohol
