Pavement Licences - more information

Government guidance on pavement licensing

You should make sure you know the requirements of the policy for the district you are applying to.

To apply for a licence, you will need to complete the application form below:

Once completed the form and supporting documents must be emailed to enquiries@worcsregservices.gov.uk

It is important that the plan you submit with your application contains enough information to make a decision to grant a licence.

The plan should clearly show

the area to be covered by the licence, and its relation the premises, the highway, and any adjacent properties
the layout of the tables, chairs, barriers, etc. within the licensed area
fixed items such as bollards, streetlamps, waste bins etc. both in and immediately around the licensed area

The plan must include clear measurements of all important dimensions of the licensed area. It should include at least the following measurements:

the distance from the building to the edge of the licensed area
the distance from the edge of the licensed area to the edge of the pavement
the width of any gap between the edge of the licensed area and any fixed item such as bollards that are not included in the licensed area
