You can only perform the alteration or change to your business after any variation application has been granted.

Variation to substitute a premises manager

Should a premises manager cease to work at the premises, becomes incapable, dies, or has their personal licence suspended or revoked, the premises licence holder must:

• Give notice to the licensing board, in writing (within seven days)
• Lodge a variation to substitute a new manage (no later than six weeks after the date the manager ceased to work)

Application

The appropriate application form must be completed.  If you are varying the layout plan, a copy of the proposed layout plan must accompany the application form.
