Draft Pavement Licensing Policy
Worcester City Council is the authority responsible for the issuing of pavement licences. The Business and Planning Act 2020 created a streamlined process to allow businesses to apply for a licence to place removable furniture over certain parts of the highway.
The licensing regime was originally intended to be in place on a temporary basis but has now been made permanent. In response, the Council has now prepared a draft Pavement Licensing Policy which has been approved by the Place and Economic Development Committee for public consultation.
The Council is now carrying out a consultation exercise in relation to the agreed draft policy on pavement licensing.
