Take the headache out of your licence applications with our new services

This service aims to support your application(s) under the Licensing Act 2003 (i.e. alcohol, entertainment and late night refreshment), Taxi Applications, Street Trading, Gambling and other Miscellaneous Applications.
Our aim is to assist you and to help mitigate any problems which may arise during the application process.
However, our advice and assistance cannot prejudge the outcome of a licensing application, especially if representations are received and a Licensing Act Sub-Committee hearing is necessary.
