Apply for a premises licence

Your application must include:

• a clear and legible plan of the premises
• consent from the designated premises supervisor (if alcohol will be sold or supplied)
• proof of your right to work in the UK - for most this is a photocopy of your UK passport, check if a document allows someone to work in the UK on GOV.UK

You will also need to provide details of your operating schedule including:

• what licensable activities will take place at the premises
• when these activities will happen
• when the premises will be open to the public
• if alcohol will be supplied – the name and address of the designated premises supervisor (DPS)
• whether alcohol will be supplied for consumption on the premises, off the premises, or both
• how you will promote the 4 licensing objectives – these will become conditions of your licence

The operating schedule is a key part of your application. It helps us and other responsible authorities decide if your plans meet the licensing objectives.

Before you apply, we recommend reviewing the premises licence guidance on GOV.UK
