To discuss applications for variations/temporary duplicate licenses contact our licensing team.

Licences are usually granted for three years, but we have the authority to grant a licence for a shorter period if we think it's necessary.  

Enforcement costs

A licensing authority may charge such reasonable fees as they may determine in respect of an inspection of premises following:

  • a failure to comply with a licensing condition, or
  • a complaint relating to the premises (unless the complaint is frivolous or vexatious)

The decision to make such a charge will be taken in line with the enforcement policy for Environmental Health. Where such a charge is to be made, we'll seek full cost recovery for such inspections based on the productive hourly rate for the grade of officer undertaking the inspection.
