Licences and Street Trading: Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A person (including a company and a person over 18) may apply for a Premises Licence. The applicant must generally propose to carry on a business involving the use of the premises for one or more licensable activities.
Applications must be submitted to the Royal Borough on the standard application form. The application must include an operating schedule, a plan of the premises and the proposed licensable activities. The application will also have to be advertised outside the premises and in a local newspaper.
If there are no objections made to the application by persons living or working near the premises, or by bodies such as the fire brigade or the police, the authority must grant the licence.
If there are objections, the authority must hold a hearing to consider the application. Following the hearing, the authority may grant the application, may modify and grant it, or may refuse it.
