Minor Variations of Premises Licence

Regulations under the Licensing Act 2003 to bring in a new minor variations procedure were laid before parliament on 8 July 2009.  The new procedures came into force on 29 July 2009.  The regulations allow minor variations to be made to licensed premises instead of premises licence holders having to go through the cumbersome full application process by introducing new sections into the Act.

Applications must be advertised on the premises on a white public notice and the standard application form will be set out in the regulations.

Interested parties in the vicinity of the application also have ten working days from the date the application was received to make representations on the likely effect of the variation on the licensing objectives.  There is no right to a hearing but the licensing officer must take any relevant representations into account.

The licensing authority has to wait at least eleven working days before deciding whether to grant the minor variation or refuse the application - and must make its decision within fifteen working days of having received the application.  If it fails to make a decision in that time, the application is deemed to have been refused and the application fee will be returned unless the licensing authority and the applicant agree it can be treated as a new application.

Minor variations generally fall into four categories:

  • minor changes to the structure or layout of a premises
  • small adjustments to licensing hours
  • the removal of out of date, irrelevant or unenforceable conditions or addition of volunteered conditions and
  • the addition of certain licensable activities.
