- view information on the applications and licences once issued
You can search and view the above information freely.
When you register you will also be able to:
- track the progress of applications

Latest applications for licences and making a representation
On this page you can find all the applications for new or varied premises licences and club premises certificates.
If we do not get any objections to the applications then we must grant the application.
If objections are raised (and not resolved) the Licensing Sub Committee will decide whether to grant the application based on the evidence presented by the relevant parties.
Making representation
Representations must be in writing and received by The Licensing Authority within 28 days beginning on the day after the application was given to us. Your representation must address one or more of the licensing objectives, which are:
- The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
- Public Nuisance
- Public Safety
- The Protection of Children From Harm
Representations should be emailed to licact2003@southend.gov.uk or sent to the Licensing Authority, Southend-on-Sea City Council, Civic Centre (Floor 5) , Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, Essex SS2 6ZG. In order to validate your representation please include your full postal address.
Please note that if you make a representation to an application:

The Licensing Authority will not edit your letter of representation before it sends it out
- your letter will also be in the agenda should the matter proceed to a sub-committee hearing. Your personal data may also be published in the minutes which are given to all parties to the proceedings and available on our website
