Aberdeenshire Licensing Board - Wednesday, 29th April, 2026 10.15 am
The Aberdeenshire Licensing Board met on Wednesday, 29 April 2026, to consider a range of applications for premises and occasional licences. The Board granted several applications for premises licences and major variations, including those for Tesco stores across Aberdeenshire, Bridge of Dye Steading, Twistillery Ltd, Bridge Bar, The New Inn Hotel, and the Central Filling Station in Turriff. A hearing was held regarding a major variation application for Tesco in Fraserburgh, which was granted despite concerns about overprovision in the area. The Board also considered an application for a major variation for Tesco in Inverurie, which was granted, and a request for an extension to the closure of The Vale Hotel in Fyvie, which was ultimately refused, leading to the licence ceasing to have effect. Finally, the Board heard an application for a personal licence for Olivia Smith, which was granted, and considered repeated occasional licence applications for Craig Ewan House in Rathen, Fraserburgh, which were also granted.
