Case Study: Licencing Plans for the Stanley Arms in King's Lynn, Norfolk.

​

En-Plan provided specialist planning and licensing support for The Stanley Arms in King’s Lynn, helping to ensure that the proposed use of the premises complied with local planning policies and licensing requirements. As a hospitality venue, the Stanley Arms required appropriate permissions to operate lawfully, particularly where the sale of alcohol, entertainment, food service, and extended opening hours were involved.

Licensing plans are a key requirement when applying for a premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003. These plans must accurately show the layout of the premises, including entrances and exits, fire safety measures, bars, seating areas, customer facilities, and any locations where licensable activities will take place. Such information enables the licensing authority and responsible bodies to assess public safety, crime prevention, nuisance control, and the protection of children from harm. The Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk outlines these licensing requirements through its licensing framework (https://www.west-norfolk.gov.uk/info/20120/licensing_act).

​En-Plan’s role was to prepare clear and compliant plans that satisfied West Norfolk Council standards and supported the licence application process. Accurate licensing drawings reduce delays, help demonstrate regulatory compliance, and provide confidence that the venue can operate safely and responsibly. Professional planning and licensing input is particularly important within historic urban areas such as King’s Lynn, where development and operational changes must be carefully managed in accordance with local planning policies and conservation considerations.
