List of licences
We are responsible for issuing a wide range of licences, permits and registrations related to premises, various occupations and activities such as street trading.
The majority of these are administered and enforced by the Licensing Team.
Licences are issued for many reasons but usually they are intended to protect the public and to maintain appropriate standards of public safety, animal welfare and to prevent nuisance.
