Minor Variations to premises licences or club premises
certificates
It is now possible to make small changes to your
premises licence or club premises certificate through the Minor
Variation process, which is cheaper (£89.00), easier and quicker
than the full variation process.
Please note that no cash payments can be accepted at Bridge
House, all payments must be taken to Bayard Place (Cash Office
closes at 14.00)
We expect that the process will be used for changes such as
small changes to the structure or layout of a premises:
- the addition of authorisation for late night refreshment or
regulated entertainment (such as live music, performance of plays
or film exhibitions)
- small changes to licensing hours (but see below on changes that
relate to alcohol);
- revisions, removals and additions of conditions (this could
include the removal or amendment of out of date, irrelevant or
unenforceable conditions, or the addition of volunteered
conditions).
The Minor Variations process cannot be used to:
- add the retail or supply of alcohol to a licence
- extend licensing hours for the sale or supply of alcohol at any
time between 11pm and 7am
- increase the amount of time on any day during which alcohol may
be sold by retail or supplied
- extend the period for which the licence or certificate has
effect
- transfer the licence or certificate from one premises to
another, or vary substantially the premises to which it
relates
- specify, in a premises licence, an individual as the premises
supervisor
- add the sale by retail or supply of alcohol as an activity
authorised by a licence or certificate
- disapply the mandatory conditions relating to a designated
premises supervisor (there is a separate process by which community
premises can apply for this).
