Confirmation of a Provisional Premises Licence

What is Confirmation of a Provisional Premises Licence?

Under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 a Provisional Premises Licence application can be made in relation to any premises despite the fact that at the time the application is made, the premises are yet to be, or are in the course of being, constructed or converted for use as licensed premises. A Provisional Premises Licence has a provisional period of 4 years from the date of issue by the Licensing Board.

The holder of a Provisional Premises Licence, under the 2005 Act, may at any time before the expiry of the provisional period , apply to the Licensing Board which issued the Provisional Premises Licence , for confirmation of the licence.
