Street trading licences

Our Street Trading Policy is currently under review and while this is in progress we are not able to issue any new street trading permits.  We will update this page when we have more information.  Any trading outside a premises within 7m of the Highway without a licence is at your own risk and you may be fined.

 

Street and pavement trading licences are normally issued to persons wishing to carry out commercial activities on the Public Realm. 

If you have a commercial premises and wish to extend your own trade onto the adjacent public pavement, visit the pavement trading page.

If you are looking to sub-let your own private forecourt/car park for retail or refreshment activity, you will require a street trading licence if this is within 7m of the Highway.

If you are a street trader looking for a new street trading pitch then I am sorry but we do not have any available pitches.

 

Parks Trading Permits

If you are looking for a pitch or short term event within our parks, these are managed by Vision RCL.
