After you apply
Once we receive your application we will:
- acknowledge it within one working day and send you a notice that must be displayed in the window of the premises for 14 days.
 - publish the notice on our website.
 
This is so that the public and neighbouring businesses have the opportunity to make representations about the application.
We will also consult with:
- Staffordshire County Council (the Highway Authority).
 - Staffordshire Police.
 - Staffordshire Fire & Rescue.
 - Lichfield District Council (including environmental health, planning and conservation teams).
 - Lichfield City Council (if in the city centre).
 - Lichfield Civic Society (if in the city centre).
 - Ward councillors.
 - Any other relevant people or organisations.
