Please return via email to licensing@middevon.gov.uk. After submission of your completed form, we'll contact you to confirm receipt and arrange payment with you directly.

If you submit it online we will forward it to the Police. The Consent of an individual to being specified as Premises Supervisor form must be completed separately and emailed to us at licensing@middevon.gov.uk.

Apply by post

If you are submitting it hard copy you will have to post your application to:

• Licensing, Mid Devon District Council, Phoenix House, Phoenix Lane, Tiverton EX16 6PP
• Licensing Department, Devon & Cornwall Constabulary, Launceston Police Station, Moorland Road, Launceston, PL15 7HY

You must also complete the Consent of an individual to being specified as Premises Supervisor and return the form to the licensing Team.

The application to vary a premises licence to specify an individual as designated premises supervisor under the Licensing Act 2003 asks the licensee to give a copy of the form to the existing premises supervisor. The completed form contains personal information about the proposed new DPS and sharing this information would be in breach of the Data Protection Act 1998. It is sufficient for the licensee to inform the DPS that the application has been made, without the need to share the specific details of the application. A full copy of the application form must still be sent to police. The form will be amended via regulations as soon as possible to make this clear.
