Premises licence fees

Fees are based on the rateable value of your premises.  There is an exemption from the payment of fees in relation to the provision of regulated entertainment at church halls, chapel halls, village halls, parish or community halls or other premises of a similar nature.  The costs associated with these Licences will be met by central Government.  If, however, the licence also authorises the use of the premises for the supply of alcohol or the provision of late night refreshments, a fee will be required for those activities.  Schools and sixth form colleges are also exempt from the fees associated with the authorisation of regulated entertainment where the entertainment is provided by and at the school or college and for the purposes of the school or college.

The fees for all general licensing functions are payable on application. All applications must be accompanied by the requisite application fee before the application will be accepted or administered.

The application fee is non-refundable.  This includes applications that are refused following a hearing by the Licensing Sub-Committee, or applications which are withdrawn or discontinued.

In accordance with the Licensing Act 2003, the full fee is refundable for minor variations if the licensing authority fails to determine the application within the statutory time period.

Annual fees - licensed premises

Please note that if your Licence is subject to an annual fee, the Licensing Act 2003 has been amended to require Licensing Authorities to suspend a Premises Licence/Club Premises Certificate if the annual fee is not paid within 21 days of the due date. 

Annual fees are non-refundable, but the premises licence can be transferred to another person subsequent to the requisite application
