Minor variation
Small variations to a premises licence or club premises certificate which will not impact adversely on the licensing objectives, can be applied for using a simplified 'minor variation' process.
The following variations are excluded from the minor variation process:
- to extend licensing hours for the sale or supply of alcohol for consumption on or off the premises between the hours of 11pm and 7am; or
- to increase the amount of time on any day during which alcohol may be sold or supplied for consumption on or off the premises.
Further information
Guidance on minor variations can be found on the .GOV website here.
We recommend that you read this guidance carefully before applying because it contains important information on the application process and legal requirements.
