Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Apply for or amend a premises licence

Apply for a minor variation of your premises licence

This process can only be used where the variations will not impact any of the four licensing objectives:

  • prevention of crime and disorder
  • public safety
  • prevention of public nuisance
  • protection of children from harm

How to advertise your application

You must place an advertisement of the application during the representation period:

  • your advertisement must be on white A4 paper and placed where it can be seen by people without the need for them to enter the premises
  • the advertisement should be on display for 10 working days starting the day after you submit your application. Use this displaying a notice (Word doc, 145 KB)  

Will tacit consent apply?

For the minor variation, it is in the public interest that the authority must process your application before it can be granted. If you have not heard from us within a reasonable period, please contact us.
