Latest time you plan to sell alcohol
|
Weighting
|
- On-licences and clubs before 2.01am
- Off-licences before 10.01pm
- Remote sales premises (at any time)
|
0
|
- On-licences and clubs 2.01am-3.01am
- Off-licences 10.01pm and later
|
3
|
- On-licences and clubs – all other closing times

Example: if you own a nightclub (weighting: 15) and want to sell alcohol till 3am (weighting: 3), your total score is 18.
Step 3: Add the number of enforcements you've had

Example: if you own a bottle store (weighting: 15) and it closes at 11pm (weighting: 3) and you've had two enforcements in the last 18 months (weighting: 20), your overall risk score of 38 would put you in the 'very high' category.
