If you operate a sports ground that holds more than 10,000 spectators, you may be required to hold a safety certificate.

In Devon or Somerset contact us to apply for a safety certificate or amend an existing one. Contact Plymouth City Council or Torbay Council for venues in those areas.
You will also need to provide access to the following documents:

A safety certificate may be either:

- a Special Safety Certificate for the use of a sports ground for an activity not otherwise covered by the General Certificate on a specified occasion or occasions.
