Notification of interest in a licensed premises

If you're the freeholder, leaseholder or occupier of a property with a premises licence, you may want to tell us of your interest in this. If you do, we'll then let you know when we receive a licence application for the property. You don't need to tell us about your interest in the property by law.

If you apply to be notified, we'll tell you of any change to the statutory register about the premises. This is for all applications as listed in Schedule 3 of the Licensing Act 2003. This includes:

  • premises licences
  • club premises certificates
  • provisional statements
  • temporary event notices

We'll notify you for 12 months from the date you apply. You can apply again at the end of the 12 month period.
