Transferring a Licence

Complete the form headed ‘Application to transfer a premises licence to be granted under the Licensing Act 2003’. This must be completed and signed by the applicant who wishes to be the premises licence holder, (or a solicitor or an authorised agent on their behalf). The form will not be accepted if it is signed by anyone else.

The premises licence and summary must be enclosed with the application so that it can be amended. These must be the originals. If this is not possible, please include a statement of the reasons for the failure to provide the licence on the form. You may be required to apply for a duplicate.

The form headed ‘Consent of premises licence holder to transfer’ must be completed and signed by the person who is the existing premises licence holder.

The fee payable to the local Authority is £23. All cheques must be made payable to Erewash Borough Council.
