Minor variations
Make small changes to your premises licence or club certificate that do not impact on the four licensing objectives of:
- Prevention of Crime and Disorder
- Public Safety
- Prevention of Public Nuisance
- Protection of Children from Harm.
Minor variation to a premises licence or club certificate
You must publish a notice about your application so that members of the Public can comment or object to your application.

You can refer to the guidance (GOV.UK) (chapter 8) or contact us for further advice.
Vary a premises licence
If you need to amend your licence you can normally apply to vary your licence rather than apply for a new one. Variations to licences that could negatively impact our licensing objectives are subject to the variation process, rather than the minor variation process (above).

Transfer a premises licence
You can apply for a premises licence to be transferred to you if you want to take over an existing premises licence. If the premises licence includes the sale by retail of alcohol as a licensable activity a designated premises supervisor (DPS) will be included on the licence. If the current DPS will not remain at the premises, a new DPS will need to be appointed.
