A prominent Budleigh Salterton garage has launched a bid to secure a licence to sell alcohol throughout the week. Market Street Service Station Ltd has formally applied to East Devon District Council for a new premises licence for Staddons Garage, located at 10 High Street.
Details of the Licensing Application
The company is seeking permission to supply alcohol for consumption off the premises. The proposed hours for alcohol sales are from 6am until 10pm, Monday through Sunday. This application is a statutory requirement under the Licensing Act 2003 and has been publicised via a notice in the Exeter Express and Echo newspaper and on the Public Notice Portal online.
How the Public Can Respond
The council is now running a formal consultation, inviting feedback from local residents and other interested parties. Anyone who has concerns or believes they may be adversely affected by the proposal is encouraged to review the full application and submit a representation.
All representations must be made in writing and sent to The Licensing Manager, East Devon District Council, Blackdown House, Border Road, Heathpark Industrial Estate, Honiton EX14 1EJ. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, 28 January 2026.
Accessing the Application and Legal Warning
A copy of the licensing application can be inspected by the public in two ways:
- At the Licensing Authority's address during normal office hours.
- On the East Devon District Council's dedicated licensing webpages.
The council has issued a stern legal reminder regarding the process. It is an offence to knowingly or recklessly make a false statement in connection with a licensing application. If convicted summarily, an individual could face an unlimited maximum fine.
This consultation period provides a crucial opportunity for the community to examine the plans for Staddons Garage and voice any opinions before a final decision is made by the licensing authorities.
