Small changes to your club premises certificate can be made through a minor variation application.
The proposed changes must not adversely affect the promotion of the licensing objectives.
The 4 objectives are:
- Prevention of crime and disorder
- Public safety
- Prevention of public nuisance
- Protection of children from harm
Certain things cannot be dealt with using the minor variation process, including:
- Extending the hours for the supply of alcohol between the hours of 11.00pm and 7.00am
- Increasing the amount of time on any day during which alcohol may be supplied
In such cases a full variation will always be required.
Please contact the licensing service for advice if you are unsure whether your proposals can be dealt with through the minor variation procedure.
Apply for a minor variation to your club premises certificate

The form should be accompanied by the fee of £89 and a plan of the club if the layout is changing.
