In Exeter, two significant licensing applications have been submitted that could impact local businesses and residents. These applications involve Heart Pet Supplies and The Chevalier Inn, both seeking changes under the Licensing Act 2003.

Heart Pet Supplies Premises Licence Application

Paul Goodier, trading as Heart Pet Supplies, has applied for a new premises licence at Crannaford Lane, Broadclyst, Exeter. Known as Heart Town & Country, the application seeks permission to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises. Proposed operating hours are Monday to Friday from 9am to 5:30pm, Saturday from 9:30am to 5pm, and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

Interested parties can make representations by writing to the Licensing Manager at East Devon District Council by May 19, 2026. The full application is available for viewing at the council's offices or online.

The Chevalier Inn Full Variation Application

JD Wetherspoon Plc has applied for a full variation to the premises licence for The Chevalier Inn located at 81 - 82 Fore Street, Exeter. The proposal includes extending the terminal hour for alcohol sales on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays until 1am. Additionally, late-night refreshments and all licensable activities would extend until 1:30am on these days. St Patrick's Day is proposed as a non-standard timing with activities extended until 2am.

Representations regarding this application must be submitted in writing to Exeter City Council by May 21, 2026. Further details can be accessed at the council's offices or through their website.

Impact of These Applications

These applications could influence local business dynamics and community life in Exeter. Heart Pet Supplies' proposal may enhance convenience for customers seeking alcohol purchases alongside pet supplies. Meanwhile, extended hours at The Chevalier Inn could boost nightlife activity but may raise concerns about noise or public disturbance.

Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to review these applications thoroughly and submit any concerns or support to the respective councils before the deadlines.
