ALL APPLICATIONS 2024 marked the continuing of a new licencing regime
for these sites due to updated regulations. These
Received Issued Refused updated regulations have increased the number of
286 267 1 sites now requiring a licence. Previously, only sites
storing petrol for sale required a licence. Now, the
majority of sites that store any liquid or gaseous fuel
for sale or commercial supply require a licence. In
addition, the revised regulations have also made the
information submission required in order to apply for
a licence considerably more comprehensive. This has
significantly increased the workload in dealing with
each application and progressing it with the applicant
to a point where a licence can be granted.

In 2024 we processed these applications as follows;-

• 285 licence applications were received
• 265 licences were issued
• 1 licence application refused
