Licence fees

The fees for the applications for licences under the Licensing Act 2003 have now been set by the government with the intention of enabling licensing authorities to deliver tougher protections for local residents against alcohol related crime and disorder and public nuisance.

Under the new licensing system, premises will apply for a one-off premises licence and then pay an annual charge for their licence thereafter. The charge is based on the rateable value of the property.

The new fee structure is as follows:-

Premises Fees

Properties not subject to non-domestic rates will fall into Band A.
Rateable Value Bands	A - no rateable value - £4,300	B - £4,301 - £33,000	C - £33,001 - £87,000	D - £87,001 - £125,000	E - £125,001 and above
