Please contact us directly to notify us of your request if you wish to be removed as the DPS on a premises licence.
Changing the DPS on a premises licence
Every premises licence that authorises the sale of alcohol must specify a designated premises supervisor (DPS). This will normally be the person who has been given day to day responsibility for running the premises by the premises licence holder.
How to apply
If you are applying to vary a premises licence to specify an individual as the DPS, you will need to provide us with:
- A completed application form
- A copy of the current premises licence, or an explanation as to why this cannot be sent
- The relevant fee
- A completed consent form from the incoming DPS
Unless you submit the application electronically using the online application form, you will be required to give notice of the application to:
- Gloucestershire Constabulary
County Police Headquarters
No. 1 Waterwells
Waterwells Drive
Quedgeley
Gloucester
GL2 2AN
Email: Licensing@gloucestershire.police.uk
Tacit consent applies to this application. This means that you can assume the authorisation has been granted (subject to standard conditions that might apply) if you have not received a decision notice from us within 42 calendar days.
The timeframe above takes into consideration the need for a licensing committee hearing. Where a decision is delegated to licensing officers, the timeframe for determining an application is likely to be less.
