Licensing fees
Central government sets all Licensing Act application fees; these are "statutory fees". The fees help to cover the administration and enforcement costs incurred by us as the "licensing authority".
The fees for new premises licence applications and variations are based on the rateable value of the premises. This is the overall figure, not the amount actually paid.
The following tables contain the fees payable for all the different types of applications we accept.

£100 |
