사업장 허가 신청
주류 판매 또는 오락 제공 허가를 신청하는 방법.
개요
Under the Licensing Act 2003, you need a premises licence to sell or supply alcohol, provide regulated entertainment (live music, theatre, cinema), or serve late-night refreshment (hot food/drink between 11pm and 5am). Applications are made to the local licensing authority (usually the district or borough council).
단계별 절차
Prepare Your Application
Complete the application form and prepare an operating schedule describing the licensable activities, proposed hours, and steps you will take to promote the four licensing objectives (prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, prevention of public nuisance, protection of children from harm).
- Consider pre-application discussions with the police and environmental health
Submit the Application and Advertise
Submit the application to the local authority with the fee, a plan of the premises, and the consent of the proposed Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS). You must also advertise the application by displaying a notice at the premises and publishing in a local newspaper or on the licensing authority's website.
- The notice must be displayed for 28 consecutive days
Consultation Period
Responsible authorities (police, fire, environmental health, planning, child protection) and any person may make representations during the 28-day consultation period. If no representations are made, the licence is granted as applied for.
Licensing Hearing (if needed)
If relevant representations are received, the licensing sub-committee holds a hearing. You can attend, make representations, and call witnesses. The committee can grant the licence (with or without conditions), exclude certain activities, or refuse the application.
