Sex shops or cinemas need to be licensed by us. Contact us for further information.
Details
The law defines the way in which an application is made, which include advertising notice of the application in the local press and displaying a notice outside the premises for a specific time period to give passers by the opportunity to comment by a statutory closing date.
When considering an application for a "sex establishment licence" we may only use the following criteria.
The suitability of the applicant:
- whether the person applying is a "front" person for someone else; and
- the location and situation of the premises in relation to other premises in the area.
Anybody who operates a "sex establishment" without a licence or fails to comply with licence condition or admits persons under the age of 18 is committing an offence. Penalties upon conviction can range from £1,000 to £20,000.
Cost
Annual licence is £ 9,532.00
Occasional licence is £953.00
