Two applications received for Great Yarmouth’s large casino licence
Having been authorised to issue one of the new large casino premises licenses, Great Yarmouth Borough Council has received two applications at the close of stage one of the process.

An invitation to apply for a licence was advertised in October 2010, with a closing date of May 17 2011.
Two applications have been received from:
Palatial Leisure Limited for premises at Palace Casino, The Great Yarmouth Palace, Church Plain, Great Yarmouth and;
Pleasure and Leisure Property Corporation plc for proposed premises at land south of the Pleasure Beach, South Beach Parade, Great Yarmouth.
The two applications will now be assessed as part of a regulatory licensing process – with there being a 28 day period where interested parties and responsible authorities can make representations about the applications. The last date for representations is 13 June 2011.
If both applications are granted, stage two of the process is set to begin in August. At this stage, each applicant will outline the benefits their casino will bring and applications will be assessed as to which brings the greatest benefit to the local area.
Following the assessment, one licence will then be granted to the successful applicant in either December 2011 or January 2012.
