Vary a premises licence / club premises certificate

Any other changes to a premises licence require a full variation. The process for applying for a variation is similar to that of applying for a new licence. Further information can be found in the premises licence guidance. 

Apply to vary a premises licence

A variation cannot be used to extend a time-limited licence or transfer a licence from one premises or another. A new premises licence application should be submitted in these cases.

You will need to advertise your application for the full 28-day consultation period, which starts the day after your application is received by us, by displaying a public notice on pale blue paper at or from the premises. View sample variation of a premises licence notice.

You also need to place the same wording in a local newspaper within the first 10 days of consultation. 

Full details of the advertisement requirements are in the premises licence guidance
