Making changes and other transactions
Your Club premises certificate can be varied to:
- change the licensable activities
- change the times on the certificate
- change the approved plan to allow for structural changes.
You must tell the licensing authority if there are changes to:
- the name or address of the secretary or chair of the club
You may be committing an offence if you do not tell us about changes to a certificate.
It is helpful, but you do not need to tell us if the name of the club has changed.
Applying for a full variation
You can not use this application to extend a licence period or to vary the premises to which it relates.

When you would need a full variation:
