Vary DPS Application

Service Description

A Variation of a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) on a Premises Licence allows you to change the individual responsible for the day-to-day management of the premises where alcohol is sold. This process is governed by the Licensing Act 2003 in England and Wales. Here are the key steps involved: Application Form: You need to complete a variation application form, which includes details about the premises and the proposed new DPS. Consent Form: The proposed new DPS must complete a consent form to show they agree to take on the role. Notification: You must notify the existing DPS (if any) about the application. Submission: Submit the completed forms to your local licensing authority, along with the required fee. Police Notification: A copy of the application must be sent to the local police. The new DPS can take on their role immediately if you request this in the application, but the Police have 14 days to object to the new appointment if they have good grounds to do so.
