Premises selling or supplying alcohol, providing entertainment or providing hot food must have a premises licence.

Licence lapses

Where a licence lapses, in certain circumstances, interested parties may apply for an interim authority notice to take over the premises. This will reinstate the licence for a prescribed period. This can happen when the premises owner:

  • dies
  • become bankrupt
  • becomes mentally incapable

When to apply for the notice

You must do this within 28 days of the licence lapsing.

Fee

It costs £23.
