Details of current licence applications are available from the online licensing register. We notify all residents within 50m of premises when a new licence or variation application is made.

Any comments must be received by the legal deadline, which is within 28 days of the application being made. This deadline is displayed on the licensing register with the application details and on the public notice displayed at the premises.
