Central Licensing Administration Unit

After careful consideration, and following the latest advice on social distancing, the Central Licensing Administration Unit, based at ENC, has suspended ‘face-to-face’ service until further notice.

For any licensing queries, please do not present in person to our offices as you will not be seen by a licensing administrator. If you require any guidance about an application process, please email licensingunit@east-northamptonshire.gov.uk.

Due to the face-to-face nature of new applications for private hire and hackney carriage driver applications, ENC have currently suspended any processing of these new applications and you should email environment@east-northamptonshire.gov.uk.

The decision remains under review and updates around the Licensing Unit will be published as soon as possible.
