Vary the designated premises supervisor

The designated premises supervisor (DPS) should be the person who is in day to day control of the premises. They must hold a personal licence.

The premises licence holder can apply to vary the licence to specify a new designated premises supervisor.

You will have to return the old premises licence (or your reasons for not doing so).

You should return your old licence to: South Ribble Borough Council Licensing Team, Civic Centre, West Paddock, Leyland, Lancashire, PR25 1DH

The fee for this application is £23.

Apply to vary the DPS

To apply, you should complete the vary DPS application form.

The completed form should be sent to us by email to licensing@southribble.gov.uk. Alternatively you can post to South Ribble Borough Council Licensing Team, Civic Centre, West Paddock, Leyland, Lancashire, PR25 1DH.

The proposed DPS will need to provide consent to be designated.

A copy of the application form and consent form should also be sent to:

Lancashire Constabulary Southern Division
Licensing Unit
Chorley Police Station
St Thomas' Road
Chorley
PR7 1DR

The Police have 14 days to raise any representations to the event. If no representations are forthcoming, the premises licence will be amended and returned. Any Police representations that cannot be mediated out will be determined at a meeting of the council's Licensing Sub-Committee.

Once your application is served, there is a 14 day consultation period. Usually, tacit consent applies, which means you can begin trading as soon as the application is made.
