Licensing Act 2003
Broadly, there are three areas controlled
by the Licensing Act 2003 - sale or supply of alcohol, provision of
entertainment and provision of late night refreshment.
Licensing Act 2003 forms and fees are set centrally by the
Government, and administered by Worcestershire Regulatory
Services on behalf of Malvern Hills District Council.
Many applications can now be made "online" - please see the
specific pages on this site. We will continue to accept
applications delivered to our Customer Contact Centre in
Malvern.
Application forms are available to download from the
DCMS website, or you can
contact us if you would prefer to have them sent to you.
Licensing Act Fees are set by Government.
