To receive a presentation on Street Trading by the Licensing Team Leader and to consider a proposed Street Trading Policy.

The Committee received a presentation on Street Trading by the Licensing Team Leader and considered a report regarding a proposed Street Trading Policy.

All applications for a Street Trading Consent were processed in accordance with the policy or working practice adopted in each of the former Boroughs, as the Council did not have a Borough-wide Street Trading Policy.

RESOLVED - That the Licensing Team Leader be authorised to undertake formal consultation on the proposed Street Trading Policy, subject to the following amendments:

(a)    That the typographical errors in paragraphs 5.3 and 6.1 be corrected (objects to objections and training to trading).

(b)    That reference to recycling bins be added under the heading ‘Prevention of nuisance or annoyance’ in paragraph 7.1.

(c)    That applicants be required to consult with the relevant Council department with respect to the disposal of refuse.

(d)    That a condition be attached to each consent requiring refuse to be disposed of in accordance with the statement on the application form.

(e)    That the reference to (1) in the first sentence of the second paragraph under the heading ‘Street Trading – Street Designations (Macclesfield District)’ be clarified.

(f)     That on the second page of the application form ‘Trading Site’ (give Area...) be amended so that the examples given are not the names of former Borough Council areas.
