Table of fees
Type of application Fee
New application £500

An application is a renewal application if all of the following apply:

  • it is made by a person who already holds a pavement licence (old type or current)
  • it is for the premises to which the existing licence relates
  • it is for a licence which will begin on the expiry of the existing licence and on the same terms.

Renewal licences can be applied for up to 2 months before the existing licence expires.

Each pavement licence, if granted, will last for 1 year.
