Comment on a pavement licence application

About pavement licences

Businesses can apply for a pavement licence if they want to place tables, chairs and other furniture on a public street outside their premises.

This applies to:

• cafés and ice cream parlours
• pubs and bars
• restaurants 

When you can comment on an application

Once a business submits a pavement licence application, there’s a 14-day consultation period. This is an opportunity for members of the public to comment on the application.

The business must clearly display a site consultation notice at their premises for the 14-day consultation period. It should be in a window or on a door.
