Any new applications (where a licence is not currently in force) will be required to submit the following documentation as part of the application:
- A plan – see information at the bottom of the page for what is acceptable.
- Pictures of the tables/chairs/barriers and any other furniture intended to be used – please read the standard conditions which state what is acceptable in terms of design etc.
- Public Liability Insurance to a minimum cover of £5 million.
- The application fee is £100.
Once a valid application is received your application will be consulted upon and you will be required to display a public notice which will be emailed to you to complete and put up on your premises for a specified amount of time.
We will also notify any person that may be materially affected if a pavement café were to be granted.
Once the period for objections has ended – if no objections are received your application will be approved and a licence granted.
If objections are received, then these will be considered by the Enforcement Team Manager and a decision taken whether to grant or refuse the application and whether any additional specific conditions may be attached to any issued licence. They may also amend the hours/days that has been applied for if they deem it appropriate to do so.
