Street trading consents & licences

Trading from a stall, van or pitch on or near the street needs the council's consent. Councils publish who holds street trading consents, where and for what. We make the register searchable for traders, residents and anyone checking a pitch is licensed.

Frequently asked

Do I need a licence to trade on the street?+

Yes — in designated streets you need a street trading consent or licence from the council, covering the location, goods, and days and hours. Trading without one is an offence.

What's the difference between a consent and a licence?+

In 'consent streets' the council grants a street trading consent at its discretion; in 'licence streets' it grants a street trading licence. Which applies depends on how the council has designated the street.
