Tremark can manage the physical display of notices required in connection with Licensing Act 2003 applications, providing clients with a complete and documented service from initial preparation through to removal at the end of the consultation period. This is particularly useful for solicitors, licensing consultants, operators and businesses managing applications at sites away from their own offices.

Our service can include:

  • Three scheduled site attendances: display, mid-point check and removal
  • Printing the required notices
  • Laminating notices where appropriate
  • Attendance at the premises
  • Securely displaying notices in the required locations
  • Photographs confirming display
  • Mid-consultation inspection
  • Replacing notices where they have been damaged, removed or are no longer properly displayed
  • Final attendance following the consultation period
  • Removal of the notices
  • Attendance report and photographic evidence

One instruction covers preparation, display, checking, removal and reporting, so the applicant, and the legal or licensing team acting for them, can show exactly when and where the Licensing Act 2003 notice was on display.

      From the documents arriving with us to the final report: every stage attended, photographed and recorded.

      1. Send us the documents

        Client provides the notice, site address, display deadline and any specific positioning requirements.

      2. Print & prepare

        We print and laminate the notices ready for display.

        An experienced field agent attends the premises, displays the notices and photographs them in situ.

      4. Mid-point inspection

        We return during the consultation period to confirm that the notices remain present, visible and secure. Where necessary, notices can be replaced.

      5. Removal

      The Requirements

      What the Licensing Act 2003 requires

      Section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003 requires a premises licence application to be advertised as the regulations prescribe. Regulation 25 of the 2005 Regulations sets out how: a pale blue notice, A4 or larger, must be displayed prominently at the premises for no less than 28 consecutive days, starting the day after the application is given to the licensing authority. The same applies to provisional statements, full variations and club premises certificates.

      Licensing authorities check that applications have been properly advertised. A notice that goes missing, is defaced or cannot be read from the street can mean delay or re-advertising, which is why an independent, photographed record of display is worth having.

      Common Questions

      Licensing Act 2003 notice display: frequently asked questions

      Common questions about Licensing Act 2003 notices and our display service.

      For a premises licence application, provisional statement, full variation or club premises certificate application, the notice must be displayed for no less than 28 consecutive days starting on the day after the application is given to the licensing authority. Our three scheduled attendances are timed around that period: display on the required date, a mid-point inspection, and removal once the display period has expired.

      The regulations require a notice of A4 size or larger, pale blue in colour, printed legibly in black in a font size of 16 or larger, displayed prominently at or on the premises where it can be conveniently read from the exterior. For premises covering more than 50 metres square, a further notice is needed every 50 metres along the perimeter abutting a highway. We print and laminate the notice you supply to meet these requirements.

      Printing and laminating the notices, the initial attendance and display, a mid-point inspection, replacement of notices if required at that inspection, the final attendance and removal, an attendance report and photographic evidence.

      No. The applicant or their solicitor supplies the notice, which keeps its contents under the control of the person making the application. We print it, laminate it, display it, check it and remove it. If you need the notice content prepared, your licensing solicitor or consultant can do this before instructing us.

      Three scheduled attendances are included: the initial attendance on or before the required display date, a mid-point inspection during the consultation period, and a final attendance to remove the notices after the display period has ended. The dates are agreed when you instruct us.

      If a notice has been damaged, removed or is no longer properly displayed when we carry out the scheduled mid-point inspection, a replacement can be displayed where appropriate and photographed. Locations needing additional attendances beyond the three included can be priced on request.

      Photographs of the notices in situ at each attendance, together with an attendance report confirming the date, time and location of display, inspection and removal. This gives an independent audit trail that can be produced if the licensing authority or an objector questions whether the application was properly advertised.

      Yes. The service is particularly useful where a legal or licensing team is coordinating applications across a number of locations. For multiple sites, high-volume projects or locations requiring additional attendances, pricing is provided on request.

      The Licensing Act 2003 applies in England and Wales, and that is where most instructions arise. Tremark can arrange attendances in Scotland and Northern Ireland under their own licensing regimes, subject to the particular instruction.

      The notice, the full site address, the required display date, the consultation end date and any specific display instructions, for example where on the frontage the notice should be positioned. Send these to info@tremark.co.uk or use the form on this page.
