starstarstarstarstar 		Planning Permission for New Mobile Catering Business
by: David

Hello Kylie,

Apply for planning permission seems to be the norm if you intend to setup another business or have a ?change of use? for the land you own, especially when setting up a different type of business.

Please also see this post Food Trailer Business Outside Pet Shop Business where the business owner is more or less facing the same issue.

Sorry I can?t be of more assistance.

Best of luck

Regards

by: Kylie

Hi

I own a smallish hotel, with a very large carpark. I have put in place a food trailer ( which is moveable), but i am now being told i must apply for planning permision. Does this seem right? I was just told i had to register it with the council and they would come check it when its completed? It is my own land, and there are no other business' within a 500m distance. Also the van is not open yet as we have designed it ourselves and it is still being finished.

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Hello Graig,

Yes you can start mobile catering and trade outside your local public house. As long as you their permission to trade and register with the local council before you start trading it?s not going to be a problem.

Also make sure that you have Public Liability Insurance to cover your business and any customers.

Best of luck
