Tables and Chairs
Tables and chairs have become a popular addition to Westminster streets and public spaces. Not surprisingly there has been a steady increase in the number of cafes, restaurants, pubs and wine bars that wish to make use of the footway.
You will need to apply separately for both planning permission and a temporary street trading licence if you want to use the public highway to set up tables and chairs.
The Full Planning Permission form should be used for change of use for placing tables and chairs on the highway
The following booklet which briefly explains the main rules and the planning policies which we use to help us to make a decision on applications and provides advice on how to apply.
