Apply and pay
To apply for a premises licence, you’ll need to complete an application and pay a fee.
The fee you’ll pay will depend on the rateable value of the premises you’re applying for.
You’ll need to visit GOV.UK to apply and pay for a premises licence. You’ll need:
- a plan of the premises, drawn to 1:100 scale (external areas drawn to 1:500 scale)
- a description of the licensable activities you’re going to provide
- the times you’re open to the public
- to know whether you’re going to supply alcohol for consumption on, off or on and off the premises
- a description of the steps you’re going to take to promote the licensing objectives
What happens next
Once you’ve applied for a premises licence:
- you may need to advertise within the area that will be affected by your licence so people can comment
- we will hold a public consultation before making a decision about your application
If we receive objections to your application, we may hold a hearing.
We may make arrangements to visit your premises before we make a decision about your application.
