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.
