🍷 Personal and Premises Licences in Telford

Selling Alcohol in Telford? Here's What You Must Know

Whether you're planning to run a pub in the town centre, operate a local off-licence, or sell alcohol online from a warehouse or your home, you’ll need to ensure you have two licences in place before trading in Telford.

These are:

  • A Personal Licence, for the individual responsible for authorising alcohol sales (issued by your home council)

  • A Premises Licence, for the physical address in Telford where alcohol is sold or dispatched (issued by Telford & Wrekin Council)

Regardless of your business model — traditional or ecommerce — the law requires that each licensed premises have a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) who holds a valid Personal Licence.

To begin the process, you must complete the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH). This is a nationally recognised course and a legal prerequisite.


How to Apply for a Personal Licence in Telford

You’ll need to submit the following to the council where you live:

  • A completed Personal Licence application form

  • Two passport-style photos (one certified)

  • A Basic DBS certificate (no older than 30 days)

  • Proof of your right to live and work in the UK

  • A certificate showing you’ve passed the APLH course

  • £37 fee


Premises Licence in Telford

To sell or dispatch alcohol from a physical address in Telford, you must apply for a Premises Licence through Telford & Wrekin Council.

You'll be required to:

  • Submit a completed application

  • Provide a detailed floor plan of the premises

  • Nominate a DPS who holds a Personal Licence

  • Display a public notice at the premises for 28 days

  • Publish a notice in a local newspaper

If no objections are made, your licence will usually be granted without a hearing.


Selling Alcohol Online from Telford

Online sales are fully regulated under the Licensing Act 2003.
If you store or dispatch alcohol from a property in Telford — even your home — that location needs to be licensed.

The sale is considered to take place at the point of dispatch, not online.

✅ You must have a Premises Licence for:

  • 🏠 Your home, if you’re dispatching alcohol from it

  • 🏬 An off-licence or warehouse used for fulfilling online orders

  • 🛍️ Any retail premises storing and shipping alcohol

❌ You do not need one for:

  • A basic ecommerce website

🛒 Selling on Amazon, eBay or other marketplaces?
These platforms often require you to hold your own Personal and Premises Licences to sell alcohol, even if they provide fulfilment.
