Local Authority Inspection Compliance

Operating a licensed premises comes with a legal responsibility to meet the conditions set out in your premises licence. Local authorities and the police carry out regular compliance checks, any breach, no matter how small, can lead to fines, reviews, or even the suspension of your licence.

All licensed premises have to meet four main Licensing Objectives:

  • Prevention of Crime and Disorder

  • Public Safety

  • Prevention of Public Nuisance

  • Protection of Children from Harm.

We use our experience as former Police Officers and Local Authority Licensing Inspectors to help you stay fully compliant and inspection-ready.

Our compliance review service provides an expert, independent check of your premises, policies, and procedures to ensure you meet all legal obligations. We identify potential issues before they become problems — giving you confidence that your business is operating safely, legally, and effectively.
