        A summary of the regulations and eligibility criteria for this licence

 

Fees for new applications, variations and annual fees are based on the NDR (Non Domestic Rateable) value of the premises.

 

Please refer to our Licensing Act Fees document for details of fees.

 

The decision period to process applications is 60 days for new applications and variations, and 21 days for notifications of changes and minor variations.

 

Tacit consent applies to these applications. 

 

If ‘tacit consent’ applies it means that an application is automatically approved if a decision is not made within the above decision period.  In all other cases approval can only be obtained following the decision regardless of the time taken.

 

It is in the public interest that we must process your application before it can be granted. If you have not heard from us within a reasonable period, please contact us. 

 

Some applications will be recorded in a Public Register.  A list of our current public registers can be viewed on our website.

 

Appeals against refusals may be submitted to the Magistrates' Court within 21 days of the notification of refusal.

 

If you need to make a consumer complaint about the trading standards of a business we always advise that you first contact the business - preferably in writing (with proof of delivery).  If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK, Consumer Direct will give you advice.  From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.

 

If you need to complain about anything relating to a licence or approval granted to a business by the Council, please use the link at the top of the page to make your complaint. Interested parties also have the right to apply for the review of a licence and a guide on how to do this is available here.
