Vary a club premises certificate

Where a premises licence holder wishes to amend a premises licence, the Licensing Act 2003 allows, in most cases, for an application to vary to be made rather than having to make an application for a new premises licence.

The areas in which a premises licence can be varied include:

Varying the hours during which a licensable activity is permitted
Adding or removing licensable activities
Amending, adding or removing conditions within a licence
Altering any aspect of the layout of the premises which is shown on the plan

You cannot vary a licence if you need to:

Extend a time-limited licence - this requires a new application for a premises licence
Transfer the licence from one premises to another - this requires a new application to make a transfer
