State and local licences

A location is more than an address

Premises use, building status, operating activity and the identity of the occupier affect the questions to investigate. We distinguish the landlord’s records from the operator’s permissions and map the dependencies between them.

Coordinate the permission lifecycle

An application, renewal, amendment, transfer and surrender are different tasks. The engagement records the authority, prerequisites, documents and ongoing conditions for each covered permission.

Prepare a premises brief

Identify the operator, exact location, proposed activities and current occupation status. Include existing permissions with their conditions, the relevant lease or owner records and the planned changes. Explain whether the immediate task is assessment, a new application, renewal or correction of an existing record.

For an expansion, distinguish the desired opening date from decisions still pending with landlords, technical professionals or authorities. The engagement can then assign the evidence requests and application dependencies to the people who can resolve them, with fees based on the sites and work actually covered.
