Great Yarmouth Borough Council Licensing Act 2003 - application guidance

1.1When to use the form

This guidance relates to application forms for premises licences under the Licensing Act 2003.

Broadly speaking, a premises licence can authorise the following activities:

• the sale or supply of alcohol
• the provision of public entertainment
• the provision of late night hot food and drink

 Further information about what activities are licensable is given later in this guidance.

Applications for premises licences must be made to the Licensing Authority within whose area your premises are situated. This will normally be your local authority and for premises situated in the Great Yarmouth area, this is Great Yarmouth Borough Council. Application forms can either be obtained from the Home Office website, via the Borough Council's website, or by emailing the Licensing Team at [email protected].
