These are the recently received applications for new licences/registrations and applications to vary existing licences/registrations:
Introduction
Below is a list of the applications under the Licensing Act 2003 that are outstanding and other licensing policy documents that the councils are currently consulting on or awaiting hearings.
All the applications and policy documents can be viewed in full at the Licensing Unit. All licensing hearings are held, in public, at the Shoreham Centre or Worthing Town Hall unless otherwise noted.
Under the Act minor variation applications cannot be dealt with at hearing but for:
- New premises licence applications
- New club premises certificate applications
- Full variations to existing licences
For those that receive relevant representations from 'Responsible Authorities' and/or any other person, and mediation is unsuccessful or impractical, a hearing is required.
A guide to making effective representations can be found at: Making representations.
For a review of a premises licence, or a club premises certificate, a hearing must be held. A guide to the review process can be found here.
All relevant representations received regarding a Licensing Act 2003 application will be forwarded unredacted to the applicant as required by the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005 and the Guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 (December 2023) issued by the Home Office. This will include a representor's name, address and contact details. The Licensing Act 2003 encourages mediation and an applicant will be encouraged to contact representors directly to discuss the application and mediate.
It is an offence knowingly or recklessly to make a false statement in connection with an application made under the Licensing Act 2003 and the maximum fine for which a person is liable is £5,000 on summary conviction for the offence.

For a minor variation application, in addition to the statutory 10 working day public consultation, the Licensing Authority has the discretion to consult any responsible authorities it considers necessary and relevant to the type of application.
