Businesses which include the sale of alcohol or opening late in the evening will come under the Licensing Act 2003.

These include:

We also issue licences for other business purposes including taxis and professions which the Government states need to be licensed for safety reasons, such as beauty treatments and businesses involving the keeping of animals.

If you are unsure whether you need a licence for your business, you can contact us or alternatively, for free, practical business advice and support provided by the UK Government, use the Business Link online tool.

A full list of the licences which the council issues is on the left of this page. If you require help or further information, please contact our customer services team.
