Alcohol licence public notices

The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 requires all On, Off and Club Licence applications to be publicly notified. This applies to both new applications, and applications to renew an existing licence.

From 31 August 2023, we will be publishing all alcohol licence application public notices online which will be available to view for 25 working days after publication.
