• Vary a club premises certificate

A club holding a Club Premises Certificate may apply to vary some aspects of that certificate including:

• adding or removing qualifying club licensable activities
• amending the permitted times for existing activities or opening hours
• amending, adding or removing conditions within a certificate
• amending the plan which was submitted with the original application, due to intended alterations

Note that variations may not be used to extend a time-limited certificate, nor to substantially change the nature of the club premises. In these situations, a new grant application would be expected.

Making an application to vary a certificate

Firstly, read the attached guidance notes in the table below, which give information on how to fill out the application form. Once you have completed the LEC10 form, you should send it to the Licensing Authority, at the address given in the link below. Your application should be accompanied by:

• a scale plan of the premises (see guidance notes for further requirements)
• the original Club Premises Certificate
• the appropriate fee

Copies of the application must also be sent to each of the Responsible Authorities.

Once your application has been received, representations may be made during the following 28 days. You will have to advertise your application, by displaying a notice at your premises, and by placing a public notice in a local newspaper.
