An application for a premises licence must be made to the relevant licensing authority, that is the authority within whose area the premises, or the major part of the premises, is situated.
To apply for a premises licence, the following will need to be supplied to the council:
- a completed application form
- an operating schedule

- the application fee
The original application form, plan and appropriate fee must be submitted to Chesterfield Borough Council Licensing (Licensing Authority).
Responsible authorities
You must also give a copy of the application form and a copy of the accompanying documents to the responsible authorities on the same day that the application form is given to the council.
