if the car park is a controlled zone/carpark the under your street traders license subcatagory retail and wholesale if your premises is located in or on a controlled parking zone then you will need to refine your license to suit these conditions. if you want advertising boards/table and chairs then you will need a pavement license.

you may also be required to obtain a parking permit from the local autority.

Hi Nikee,

With regards to question 1

If the council did not want you to trade on a catering pitch for some reason. It could be down to a whole range of reasons that only they would know.

So on this occasion I can?t be of much help, nothing obvious comes to mind; normally the council want/need mobile caterers on site.

Question 2-

If you were to trade from a private care park on the industrial estate you would not need permission from the council only the owner of the car park to trade.

Hope this helps

Regards
David
