FOI request (FOIR-806024667)

I am requesting the following information held under the Licensing Act 2003:

1. ALL CURRENTLY ACTIVE PREMISES LICENCES, including:

   - Licence reference number

   - Premises name

   - Full premises address and postcode

   - Licence holder name

   - Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) name, where held

   - Licensable activities authorised (e.g. sale of alcohol, regulated entertainment, late-night refreshment)

   - Permitted operating hours

   - Date licence was granted

2. ALL PREMISES LICENCE APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS

   (received by the authority but not yet determined), including:

   - Application reference number

   - Premises name and full address

   - Date of application

   - Application type (new licence / variation / transfer / review)

   - Licensable activities applied for

   - Operating hours applied for (where available)

   - Current status

3. ALL PREMISES LICENCE APPLICATIONS DETERMINED in the last 5 years, including:

   - Premises name and full address

   - Application type

   - Date of application

   - Date determined

   - Outcome (granted / refused / withdrawn)

   - Licensable activities where granted

   - Permitted operating hours where granted

PREFERRED FORMAT

CSV or Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) would be ideal, but I am genuinely happy with any machine-readable format your team finds convenient to produce — I can work with most things.

A NOTE ON ONLINE PORTALS

I am aware that some authorities publish licensing information via searchable online portals, and I think that is great. However, I am specifically requesting a bulk structured export of the complete dataset, which is something a search portal does not provide — it gives access to individual records rather than the register as a whole. The information I am asking for is not therefore reasonably accessible by other means, and I do not believe Section 21 of the Act applies to this request. Should you have such an online portal a supplementary link would be appreciated.

REGARDING SCOPE AND COST

I would ideally like the full 5 years of application history for item 3, as this gives the most complete picture. If that scope would exceed the appropriate cost limit under Section 12, please let me know before issuing a refusal — I would be very happy to reduce the timeframe, narrow the scope, or split the request into parts to bring it within the limit. I would also welcome any advice under Section 16 on the best way to do so.
