Before you apply
If you are applying for an off-licence, you should first check that your business complies with the Local Alcohol Policy.
There is a temporary freeze on new off-licences in the city centre and 23 other priority overlay areas. We may also decline applications for new off-licences in neighbourhood centres. This does not apply to remote (online) sales premises.
