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.
We recommend that you speak to us before making your application. Please email licensing@southribble.gov.uk, or call us on 01772 625625.
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.
