Remove the requirement for a designated premises supervisor (DPS)
When you can remove the requirement for a DPS
You can apply to remove the requirement for a DPS if you're a community premises, for example:
- a village hall
- church hall
- chapel
- community centre
This means that you do not need a DPS and you can sell alcohol on the premises without needing a personal licence holder to authorise the sale.
