Whether you own a pub or food outlet, are a street trader, own an exotic animal or drive a private hire vehicle, you may need a licence or form of consent from the Council.

We issue a wide range of licences, permits, registrations and notifications. Use the A-Z listing below to check whether you need a licence or form of consent from the Council.
