Premises licences

A Premises Licence allows licensable activities to take place on or from a defined area, a building, part of a building, a vessel, vehicle or temporary structure. The application can be made by an individual, several individuals, a company or organisation etc.

The licence is valid for the life of the business and will not need to be renewed. However, where premises create problems which impact on the four licensing objectives the licence may be reviewed by the council. If the objections are upheld the council has the power to restrict or remove licences (click on the link on the right for guidance on dealing with problems from licensed premises).

The licensing laws represent a unique opportunity for licensees, Police, residents, businesses and the council to work together in partnership to build a thriving community.
