Determination of applications

At the end of the public consultation period we will have seven days to  determine the application, starting with the first day after the public consultation ends.

At this stage we may:

• grant a pavement licence to the applicant, together with conditions or
• reject the application.
• although there is no automatic right of appeal to a decision to reject an application, arrangements are in place that will allow businesses to seek  a review of a decision to refuse a licence.

These are temporary arrangements, which come to an end at the end of September 2023. Licences may be granted for a minimum of three months. Alternatively, they may be granted for any period up until the end of September 2023 when they will automatically expire.
