The impact of the pandemic has been immense on the licensed hospitality sector. However, operators still require a functioning local authority licensing system during the current period. Operators may require more flexibility than their existing premises licences permit, or need to apply for new licences to enable those planning for the future to hit the ground running when the pandemic passes.

Gary Grant played a leading role in the team that drafted the Institute of Licensing’s “Protocol for Licence Applications and Hearings under the Licensing Act 2003 during the Covid-19 pandemic”. In this webinar he gives practical advice and insights to those in the hospitality industry seeking to make the best use of the licensing system during these challenging times.
