South Kesteven District Council Street Trading Policy Suspension Notice
South Kesteven District Council has officially suspended its current Street Trading Policy while it undergoes a review. This means that no new street trading consents will be issued under the existing policy until further notice. The suspension is part of a broader effort to update and improve the policy framework, ensuring it remains robust, transparent, and aligned with current practices and legal standards.
Key Points:
· Street trading in South Kesteven is regulated under Schedule 4 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982.
· The review aims to clarify requirements for mobile traders (e.g., ice cream vans, sandwich sellers), improve the application processes, and ensure consistency in decision-making.
Guidance for Affected Individuals:
If you are adversely affected by the suspension of the policy, please contact the Licensing Team directly at licensing@southkesteven.gov.uk. Each case will be assessed individually.
The whole of South Kesteven is a consent area, so you must have consent from us for street trading, before you can trade.
To make an application, please download and complete the form below.
Street trading consents will be issued following consultations with the Highways Authority, Planning, Environmental Health, town council, and relevant businesses.
If objections are received, the application will go to the council's licensing committee for a hearing. All interested parties will be invited to attend.
