Premises licences

You need a licence if you are planning to sell or supply alcohol, late-night refreshments or regulated entertainment.

What happens next

Tacit consent applies. This means you can act as though your application is granted if you haven't heard from the council within 40 days for new, provisional and full variation applications, or within 30 days for all other application types.

Tacit consent does not apply for minor variation applications.
