Stones and Stars Applies for Alcohol License at Plymstock Glamping Site

Stones and Stars Ltd has applied for a new premises license to sell alcohol at its Boutique Glamping site at Radford Quarry in Plymstock, Plymouth.

The application, submitted to Plymouth City Council on August 19, 2026, seeks permission for the retail sale of alcohol for consumption both on and off the premises. The proposed alcohol sales hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays, according to the public notice.

The premises at 47 Kingfisher Way, Plymstock, is listed as being open to the public 24 hours. However, the proposed alcohol licensing hours are separate from the general opening hours stated in the application. 

If approved, the premises would therefore be able to operate on a 24-hour basis while alcohol sales remained subject to the hours and conditions established by the premises license.

The application is for a new premises license rather than a variation to an existing license, according to PlymouthLive The public notice identifies Mr. D Seymour as the signatory for Stones and Stars Ltd.

Interested residents, businesses, and other parties have until September 17, 2026, to submit relevant representations to Plymouth City Council. Representations must relate to one or more of the four licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance, or the protection of children from harm.

The council has stated that the full application can be viewed through its Licensing Office by appointment during office hours, with application documents also available through its published licensing information.

For outdoor hospitality operators, the application highlights how adding alcohol service can involve considerations beyond the sale itself. If approved, the license could provide the glamping business with an additional on-site revenue opportunity while also establishing operating parameters around when alcohol can be sold. 

Operators considering similar applications may need to account for issues such as guest behavior, noise, delivery activity, responsible alcohol service, and impacts on neighboring properties when developing their licensing plans.

Any relevant representations received by the September 17 deadline could result in the application being considered by a licensing subcommittee. Following a hearing, the council could grant the license, refuse it, or grant it subject to conditions. If no relevant representations are submitted, the application may be granted under delegated powers.

The application is being considered under the Licensing Act 2003. The outcome and any conditions attached to a license would determine how alcohol sales could operate at the glamping property.
