Minor Variations to Premises and Club Premises Licences

Minor changes can be made to Premises Licences and Club Premises Certificates through the 'minor variation' procedure.

This procedure allows for low impact changes that would not undermine the licensing objectives to take place without the need for the full variation application procedure.

The licensing objectives are:

• the prevention of crime and disorder;
• public safety;
• the prevention of public nuisance;
• the protection of children from harm.
