Business & Street Trading Licenses

Street Trading is defined as the selling or offering for sale of any article in the street. This includes food such as burgers, kebabs, doughnuts etc. or other things such as household items.

Food traders must be registered with their local Environmental Health Department.

You do not need a Street Trading Consent if you are:

• Trading as a Pedlar under licence issued by a Police Authority
• A market trader operating at a licensed market venue
• A news vendor selling only newspapers and periodicals
• If you are trading on private land you may not need consent.

To confirm the situation you are advised to contact us, using the details above. The landowner may need planning permission and you are advised to contact the Council's Planning Office.
