For every premises licensed for the supply of alcohol, a personal licence holder must be specified as the designated premises supervisor (DPS). This will normally be the person who has day-to-day responsibility for running the premises.
There may be a number of Personal Licence holders working at a premises but there can only be one designated premises supervisor.The designated premises supervisor must be appointed by the Premises Licence Holder (who may hold both positions).
To apply for a variation of designated premises supervisor we will need to send to the council:
- a completed vary DPS application form
- a consent form the proposed DPS to show that they consent to taking on this responsible role;
- a copy of the current premises licence or a statement as to why it is not included
- the appropriate fee
We will also need to send a copy of the application to Licensing Police. Only the police may make representations.
