Potential scam targeting premises license holders - person impersonating licensing officerWe've received reports of an individual impersonating a Licensing Officer and contacting businesses to request payments.
Lewisham Council licensing officers will never request cash payments under any circumstances. Council officers will not provide Council bank account details over the telephone or ask for payments to be made to personal accounts.
If you receive any suspicious calls, requests for payment, or communications claiming to be from the Licensing Team, please do not make any payment. Email our licensing team on licensing@lewisham.gov.uk to verify the request. We encourage all licence holders to remain vigilant and report any suspected fraudulent activity.
Variations can include a change in hours, the addition of one or more licensable activities, the removal or addition of conditions, or a major change in the layout of the premises.
The application form must be completed in full by the existing premises licence holder, signed, dated and returned to the Licensing Service, along with the appropriate fee. The fee will be exactly the same as the fee for the grant of the licence.
A copy must be sent to all the Responsible Authorities.
The application must be advertised by way of a blue notice being displayed at the premises, and a newspaper advertisement, which must be arranged within 10 days of the application being made.
