You Cannot Trade Without a Licence

You need to apply for new licences under the Licensing Act 2003 using the forms in this section, which will take a minimum of 28 days to process before you can sell or supply alcohol, or provide entertainment or late night hot food.

If objections (representations) are made about your application and a committee hearing is necessary, it will be longer before a licence can be issued.

It is an offence to carry on licensable activities without a new licence, for which you will be prosecuted.
