SBC Consent Street Trading Procedural Guidance 2024

There is no statutory right of appeal in respect of refusal or revocation of street trading consent. A person aggrieved by a decision of the Council may make an application to the High Court for the judicial review of the decision. For further information on potential grounds for judicial review, applicants should seek independent legal advice.

If more than one application is received for any new or vacant site, or a high number of objections against an application are received, these applications will be considered in consultation with the Chair or Vice Chair of the General Licensing Committee. All applications will be assessed against the assessment criteria and to ensure the process is open, fair and transparent, if an application is refused full and clear written reasons will be given.

Applicants also have recourse to the Council's complaints procedure if the applicant considers that a Council service has not been properly delivered.
