Anywhere in the borough that sells alcohol must have a person designated as premises supervisor on its premises licence (club certificates and temporary event notices excluded). This Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) must have a personal licence to sell alcohol.
The DPS can only be one particular named person at any one time, but the premises licence holder can change who it is any number of times using the procedure below. This is known as a 'DPS Variation'.
How to apply
- The Application Form needs to be printed out and completed by the premises licence holder. Please note that on page 5 of this latest form it asks the licence holder merely to notify the outgoing designated premises supervisor that the application has been made, without sending them a copy of it.
- The Consent Form needs to be printed out and completed by the prospective new DPS.
- Pay the £23 application fee
- Then apply electronically by scanning your application and sending it as one or more e-mail attachments to licensing@merton.gov.uk, explaining in the body of the e-mail what it is and quoting your payment reference.
