Licensing for alcohol sales is based on the place or storage, Wherever alcoholic drinks are to be kept, those premises must be licensed for that purpose.

The point of sale is the key to determining which premises are licensable. Due to the often complex nature of this definition, we would offer this advice on a case-by-case basis.

The licensing process is relatively quick, and having a background in local authority law, Brown and Co are ideally placed to help you get your application through smoothly. In total, we expect to take 5-6 six weeks.

Once we submit your application, there will be a 28-day consultation period, during which parties, including the police, have the opportunity to express any significant reasons to deny the application.

If you are selling online, there are a number of considerations which are unique to online sales of alcohol. One such consideration is the measures which the applicant (you) proposes to ensure the alcohol is not sold (or eventually delivered) to someone who is underage.
