Opening Notice

Premises licence applications


How it works

The application is public before the room is in the paper.

We collect premises licence notices from the councils we cover and put them in a weekday list.

What you do with it

Each row is a new grant or a transfer. You open the council page and read it yourself. You can filter by place and export the list.

We do not score rooms and we do not tell you whether to call. That is your job.

One case, not an average

Shah’s in Reading had a licence dated 12 August 2026. The Reading Chronicle and the operator’s own site announced the opening on 21 August. Nine days. One case. Not a typical lead time, and not a promise the next one will look the same.

The dated note is here if you want the pair of dates on their own.

Other public lists

On 27 August 2026 we checked two public lists. A Monday openings spreadsheet was about £40 a month. A monthly Excel of announced launches was about £50 a month. Those files have a job. This is the applications from before the announcement.

Coverage

30 applications, 11 councils, last pulled 28 August 2026. We do not cover every council in the country. The names are on the coverage page.

Price

£99 a month, locked. Ask by email. There is no live checkout.
