Change the Designated Premises Supervisor

In every premises licensed for the supply of alcohol, a Personal Licence holder must be specified as the Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS). This will normally be the person who has day-to-day responsibility for running the premises.

In the event that the DPS changes, the Premises Licence must be varied to show the new DPS. It is important that we and the Police are notified of this change as soon as possible. The new DPS must also consent to this variation.
