Varying a DPS

The holder of a premises licence may apply to the licensing authority to vary a premises licence to specify a new individual to be the Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS).

An existing DPS may also apply to the licensing authority to be officially removed from a premises licence if he/she wishes to cease their responsibility at that premise. Please contact the licensing department in this instance.

Complete the form headed ''Application to vary a premises Licence to specify an individual as designated premises supervisor under the Licensing Act 2003''. This must be completed and signed by the premise licence holder only, their solicitor or authorised agent. This form will not be accepted by the licensing authority if it is signed by anyone else.

The form headed ''Consent of individual to being specified as premises supervisor'' must also be completed and signed by the individual who is to become the new DPS. This person must be a personal licence holder.

The premises licence and summary must be enclosed with the application so that it can be amended. These must be the originals. If it is not possible to supply them, please include a statement of the reasons for the failure to provide the licence in part 2 of the form. You may be required to apply for a duplicate licence.

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

For further information contact Erewash Borough Council’s Licensing Section. The relevant forms are available to download in 'Related Documents' below.
