NEED A MINOR VARIATION LICENCE?

A minor variation licence allows for small, non-substantial changes to an existing premises license or club premises certificate without requiring a full variation application. These changes typically involve minor adjustments to the layout, operating hours (excluding alcohol sales hours), or removal of outdated conditions. The process is designed to be quicker, easier, and cheaper than a full variation.
