Forms to transfer a premises licence issued by Eastbourne Borough Council under the Licensing Act 2003 for alcohol, entertainment and late night refreshment.

You will need the existing Premises Licence holder to complete a consent form to transfer a Premises Licence.

What Do You Need to Send to Us?

  • The completed transfer application form below

  • Form of consent for transfer given by the person who holds the existing licence (they can do this online for no fee, using the link under Other Websites)

  • A cheque for the licence fee of £23 - payable to 'Eastbourne Borough Council'

Interim Authority Notice before Transfer

If the current Premises Licence holder dies, becomes insolvent or becomes mentally incapable, you can inform us of the situation and allow your premises to trade until the licence can be transferred. Go to our Interim Authority Notice before Transfer page.

Making Other Changes to Your Licence

To change the Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) for the sale of alcohol, go to Changing Your Premises Supervisor.

To make other changes, including opening hours, the activities you are licensed for, or structural alterations to premises, you need to send us a variation application. Go to Premises Licence Variation Forms.

Please read our guidance booklet before filling in your forms.

We also recommend you read the step by step guide to filling in the application forms on the Department for Culture, Media and Sport website.
