2. Apply for a pavement licence
East Devon District Council now have the authority to issue Pavement Licences for up to 2-years duration following amendment of the Business and Planning Act 2020
Before applying for a pavement licence please make sure you have read The Government Guidance, our information page about pavement licences and our schedule of conditions for pavement licences.
How to apply
Applications must be made using our online application form, uploading all the necessary documents and paying the current fee which is non-refundable.
Due to the volume of applications and queries, the licensing team cannot help you filling in the form.
An existing licence granted by this Council must be renewed at least 4 weeks before it expires. Licences previously issued by Devon County Council under the previous Highways Act 1980 regime can no longer be renewed by Devon County Council, and East Devon businesses are now advised to apply to East Devon District Council for their pavement licence instead.
