Licensing of Pavement Cafés

Following Public Consultation Tameside Council has adopted a Policy for the licensing of Pavement cafes, which includes restaurants, bars and sandwich shops which want to provide tables and chairs on the pavement for use by customers.

During the consultation most people were supportive of pavement cafes but some concern was expressed regarding the potential for neighbourhood noise and nuisance associated with premises. The new Policy provides a framework against which the Council will decide whether to grant or refuse pavement cafe licences, however strict licence conditions concerning the type of furniture to be used, the hours of operation, and the type of refreshments to be served will normally be imposed on any licences granted. In addition local businesses and residents have the opportunity to make representations regarding any applications received.
