Quick answers
Do I need consent for pavement seating?
Yes, a pavement or tables-and-chairs licence from the highway authority, which needs a scaled layout drawing. We prepare exactly what the licensing team asks for.
What about a canopy or smoking shelter?
Depending on size, position and whether it is enclosed, it may need planning permission and can affect fire strategy. We confirm the position first.
How long does a licence take?
Typically a few weeks once submitted, though consultation periods vary by council. We prepare the drawing so it is not returned for corrections.
What does it cost?
A fixed written price after a free check, with the licence or application fee separate and flagged up front.
