Decisions

The Business and Planning Act 2020 introduced a temporary fast track regime to grant pavement licences. This temporary regime was due to be in force until 30th September 2021 but has been extended until 30th September 2022.
As a result East Herts Pavement Licence Policy needs to be amended to reflect this new date. When the policy was originally created the decision was taken to grant licences for a period of 7 months. As the regime has been extended for another 12 months the period for which a licence will be be granted is to be amended to a maximum of 12 months. This avoids the need for those benefiting from the regime to make unnecessary renewal applications and incur additional expense.
Any Licence granted on or after 1st October 2021 will expire on 30th September 2022 when the temporary regime ceases to be in force.

To amend the period for which the Pavement Licence Policy shall be in force to the 30th September 2022 and to extend the period for which a pavement licence will be granted up to a maximum of 12 months.
