Make changes to a premises alcohol licence

You can make changes, also known as variations, to an existing premises licence in any of the following ways: 

  • amendments
  • minor variations
  • full variations. 

Amendments

Use amendments for small administrative changes, for example, a change of address for the licence holder or designated premises supervisor.

Amendments cost £10.50

Minor variations

Use minor variations for changes to:

  • the plans
  • licensable activities
  • times and conditions of the premises licence - such as a reduction in trading hours

We recommend you contact the licensing department in advance to discuss your proposal.

There's a consultation period of 10 working days for minor variations. 

You must advertise the application with a white notice at the premises. 

Minor variations cost £89.
