Pavement Cafe Licences
Under the Business and Planning Act 2020, local authorities can grant a pavement cafe licence following application. Premises must ensure that safe and clear access routes are maintained in the highway, taking into account the needs of all users, including disabled people.
How do I make an application for a Pavement Café Licence?
Our Pavement Cafe Licence scheme is currently on pause. If you would like to apply for a pavement cafe licence when the new scheme launches, please email the Licensing Service on licensing.enquiries@westlancs.gov.uk to register interest. Our Pavement Cafe Licence Policy is currently under review and we will be contacting businesses soon in relation to the updated Policy and requirements.
Until the new Policy and scheme launches the Temporary Pavement Café Licence Policy document and its appendices can be found below for reference and we would recommend that businesses have regards to these documents.
