‘Five Council’ Proposal Public Consultation
Have your say on the future of councils in Essex. Councils across Greater Essex are seeking public input on plans to replace the current Local Authority structure with fewer, larger unitary councils.
A personal licence is needed by anyone wishing to supply alcohol or authorise the supply of alcohol in accordance with a Premises licence. An application must be made on the prescribed form to the Licensing Authority for the area in which the applicant usually live, not where they work.
Once a licence is issued you will not need to renew this licence, it will remain valid until you surrender it or we revoke it.
The Licensing Authority must notify the police if you have been convicted of a relevant or foreign offence. Where the police object to the grant of the licence on the grounds that it would undermine the crime preventive objective, the licensing authority must hold a hearing to determine the application.
If you are a Personal Licence holder and you change your name or address you must inform the issuing authority.
