Operating schedule

How do you complete your operating schedule?

Licensed premises do not benefit from crime and disorder, public nuisance, failing to promote public safety or failing to protect children from harm. In fact, significant gains can be made by putting these objectives at the centre of how you run your business.

As a licensing authority, we will be looking closely at the steps you propose to take to promote these licensing objectives:

• Preventing crime and disorder
• Public safety
• Preventing public nuisance
• Protecting children from harm

If you do not send us a complete operating schedule, you form will be returned to you as invalid and will not be processed until you have completed and resubmitted it. Please note the boxes on the application form relating to promoting the licensing objectives are very small, so we will be accepting additional sheets of paper to enable you to fully set out how you intend to promote the licensing objectives.

Advice on how to promote the licensing objectives and fill out this section of your form is readily available from the responsible authorities, who will be assessing your application.

We believe that the vast majority of applicants will be looking to run their businesses responsibly, conscious of the environmental impact a licensed premises can have and the need for a culture of vigilance to protect customers, staff, performers, children, as well as local residents and businesses.
