Changes to pavement licences

On 31 March 2024, the Government changed the law regarding pavement licences - licences which enable food and drink businesses to place removable furniture on the highway adjacent to their premises to create additional space for their customers.

To find out more, read the guidance for businesses on the Government website.

This does not affect any licences granted before 31 March 2024, which will still operate as normal until their stated expiry date.
