What is a Variation?
A variation has the same meaning as previously but there is now a distinction between major and minor variations. A major variation would include a change to the hours of operation, an increase in the capacity of the premises, a change to the way the premises are to operate, varying an existing condition etc. A minor variation would include applications to change the name or address of someone named in the licence or an application to vary the licence to specify a new individual as the Designated Premises Supervisor.
