Is permission required to erect a permanent kiosk on public footways selling hot and cold food and drinks, possibly with seating and tables available for customers?
Yes. Planning permission is required to erect a permanently sited kiosk for the sale of food and drinks. Any planning approval would be subject to adequate space remaining on the public footway to permit safe movement of pedestrians and the right standard of equipment and its maintenance and management. In addition, a highway licence needs to be obtained to use part of the public highway. A separate Street Trading Licence is required. Planning, highways and Licensing application forms and advice are obtainable from the Green and Built Environment Department.
