Our system does not separate between transferred, surrendered or issued licenses. Attached is an excel sheet from Licensing showing all premises that have had a premises licence issued or transferred within the time scale requested. Please note one address has been removed as it is residential.

Q4 - Information not held - we do not keep records searchable as transfers. They are all registered as LQ3 without sub heading.

Q6 - None
