As part of our shared licensing service, you can submit a Transfer of a Premises Licence Application to Gravesham Borough Council or Medway Council using our online forms.
If you are taking over a premises, then as the new owner you must apply for a transfer of the Premises Licence, from the previous owner to you.
NOTE: The holder of the premises licence is required to pay an annual fee by the anniversary of the grant of the licence. Before applying for a transfer, you may wish to check with the outgoing licence holder if there are any outstanding licence fees from previous years that remain payable.
