Application processing timeframe

Allow eight weeks processing time. To avoid delays, make sure you provide all the required documentation.

Five weeks of this processing time is for:

  • the public to object
  • the police and the Medical Officer of Health to report on your application.

The District Licensing Committee will hold a hearing if:

  • the public objects
  • our licensing inspector, police or the Medical Officer of Health opposes your application.

It will take longer to process your application if a hearing is required.
