Café culture’s here to stay with free pavement licences

ByVal Prichard
Café culture’s here to stay with free pavement licences Hospitality businesses with an existing pavement licence can apply for a new free licence which can last up until 30 September 2022 from East Hampshire District Council (EHDC).

Pavement licences, which were introduced in 2020 under the Business and Planning Act, were due to run until 30 September 2021. The government has now amended the legislation to allow for licences to run until 30 September 2022.

Businesses with existing pavement licences will need to reapply for a new licence to cover this extended period, but EHDC has decided to waive the £100 licence fee to support business recovery and encourage outdoor socialising, the safest way to meet with friends and family.
