Application Forms (Civic Government Licensing) are in Word format on the links above and in PDF format under 'Current Documents' on the right-hand side of this page. The Guidance Notes and Conditions of Licence, and other information above are also in PDF format.
Officers responsible for Civic Government Licensing seek to protect the public by ensuring that all applications are carefully considered and that appropriate consultations are undertaken before any licences are issued. Once a licence has been issued Council officers have a further responsibility to monitor and enforce the conditions attached to the licence.
The form can be completed and then returned to your local Chief Executive's Office OR your local Highland Council Service Point, with the appropriate fee.
