As part of our shared licensing service, you can submit a Variation of Designated Premises Supervisor to Gravesham Borough Council or Medway Council using our online forms.
For every premises licensed for the supply of alcohol, a personal licence holder must be specified as the designated premises supervisor (DPS).
This will normally be the person who has day-to-day responsibility for running the premises.
There may be a number of personal licence holders working at a premises but there can only be one designated premises supervisor.
The designated premises supervisor must be appointed by the premises licence holder (who may hold both positions).
If you are the Premises Licence holder and wish to change the Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS), for example if they no longer work at the premises, then you need to make an application to us.
You cannot sell alcohol at your premises without a Designated Premises Supervisor.
