Brighton’s beachfront Grosvenor Casino is looking to vary its licence, aiming to convert its current classification into what’s known as an “extended converted casino licence.”
The application was submitted by Grosvenor Casinos Limited, a major UK operator headquartered in Maidenhead, Berkshire. The proposed change does not involve any physical alterations to the venue, nor does it expand the venue’s overall licensable area.
What the Licence Variation Means
The application falls under the Gambling Act 2005 and specifically references Part 5 of Schedule 1 of The Gambling Act 2005 (Mandatory and Default Conditions) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007.
This particular upgrade to an “extended converted casino licence” allows qualifying venues, those licensed before the Gambling Act 2005 took full effect—to apply for broader gaming permissions. These include updated operational conditions and potentially more flexible gaming formats under the revised licensing structure.
While the exact internal changes to operational scope haven’t been detailed publicly, the application does include an updated internal premises plan. The city council confirmed that no major structural modifications or expansions are part of the proposal.
Who Can Comment and How
Residents and businesses that may be affected by the variation can submit written representations to the licensing authority. This includes:
• People living close enough to be impacted by the authorised activities.
• Businesses with interests that might be affected.
• Anyone representing someone from the above categories.
The deadline for representations is Sunday, 30 November.
According to the public notice, it is a criminal offence under Section 342 of the Gambling Act 2005 to provide false or misleading information to a licensing authority in connection with this application.
More details about the application, including how to review it or submit comments, are available on the Brighton & Hove City Council’s licensing portal or directly at the Public Notice Portal: View Notice.
