Licensing & Permits

Hart District Council has a role in ensuring the safety, health and welfare of persons and animals within Hart. The council grants licences for a variety of business premises and activities.

We issue a variety of licences, permits and registrations to individuals and businesses and keep public registers for a number of these for inspection. This is done through the provision of licences to premises or persons, required by statute, for certain activities for which the Council is the licensing authority.

Where appropriate we investigate complaints concerning licensed premises, activities and practices. We also provide education, advice and information on matters relating to licensing
