Under the Licensing Act 2003 every premises licensed to supply alcohol is required to have a designated premises supervisor. The designated premises supervisor must hold a valid Personal Licence.

 

When a current Designated Premises Supervisor leaves a premises the licence holder must apply to change the details immediately. This can be carried out online, by completing the application form below and paying the relevant fee, or alternatively by downloading the form from our Application Forms section, and sending the form to us.

 

If you choose to make the application online, once you have completed and printed out the form please sign it and submit to the Licensing Authority Office immediately, along with the original licence. You must also ensure that the proposed Designated Premises Supervisor signs the consent form.

 

If this form is not received in the Licensing Authority Office within 2 working days, the application will be deemed invalid.

 

Under the Licensing Act 2003 the licence holder must serve the application on the existing Designated Premises Supervisor.

 

The application must also be served on the Chief of Police, this is automatically carried out when you complete the online application. The Police then have 14 days in which they can object to the appointment of the new Designated Premises Supervisor where they are satisfied that it would undermine the crime prevention objective.

 

The appointment of the new Designated Premises Supervisor becomes valid from the date of the online application, unless and until there is a successful Police objection.
