The Business and Planning Act 2020 has been introduced to temporarily modify the Licensing Act 2003.
This will provide an automatic extension to existing premises licences that permit on-sales to be allow off-sales.
The new off- sale permissions will mirror existing on-sale permission subject to a cut off time of 23:00 or the closure time of an outside area, whichever is the earlier terminal hour. This modification will also suspend any licence conditions that restrict off-sales.
This permission is only given to business with a premises licence and they must not, within the last 3 years had:
• a premises licence application for off sales refused
• a variation application for off sales refused
• a variation seeking to exclude off-sale permissions accepted
• a premises licence varied or modified on review to exclude off sales.
You will need to ensure you check your premises licence prior to commencement and if clarity is needed then please email licensingenquiry@camden.gov.uk
This is a temporary modification and will be valid until 30th September 2021, after this date the permission will lapse.
This permission is available immediately to you.
It is not a requirement that you notify us that you intend to utilise this permission, we do recommend that you email licensingenquiry@camden.gov.uk to inform us where possible.

No, the provision exists until the 30th of September 2020, unless this period is extended by further regulations.

If you are in any doubt as to whether the off-sale provisions apply you should check with the licensing authority first by emailing licensingenquiry@camden.gov.uk
No, these areas will be using the off-sale provision, and as such do not have to be shown on the licence plan. However, you must ensure that the areas you do intend to use have the correct permissions to do so – such as a pavement licence for furniture on the public highway.
Yes. The provisions already exist under the Licensing Act 2003 to apply for a full variation to add off-sales. This can be done at any time, and no change has been made to this full variations procedure.
Yes. The off-sale permission can be reviewed should problems arise at a venue where this is being provided. If deemed serious enough, the permission can be removed.
No, these conditions have been protected. If there are such conditions on a premises licence they must be adhered to. If these conditions are to be removed, a variation of the licence will have to be applied for.
