Pavement licensing policy - Conditions

The council’s standard conditions are set out at appendix 2. In some cases, extra measures may be required. This will be determined when assessing any application on a case-by-case basis.

Where a local authority sets a local condition that covers the same matter as set out in national published conditions, then the locally set condition takes precedence over the national condition, where there is reasonable justification to do so.

This is not the case for the statutory no-obstruction and smoke-free zone conditions which apply to all licences. The national ‘no obstruction” and “smoke-free zone” conditions are shown in appendix 3.
