To change the street trading designation of High Town, Hereford from a Consent Street to a Licence Street. A consent street is designed for more itinerant types of trading which takes place from a vehicle, cart or barrow. A licence street is better suited to trading from fixed positions and allows for a wider variety of trading units.

That:

(a)       a notice of intention to designate High Town, Hereford as a licence street, for street trading purposes, is published in line with the requirements of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982;

(b)       the Assistant Director, Environment and Place be authorised to determine the designation, having regard to any representations received in response to the notice and  if designation is determined, to rescind High Town as a consent street, taking all necessary steps to implement the change 

1.         To maintain the status quo with regard to the designation of High Town for street trading purposes. This is not recommended as it limits future street trading options within High Town particularly in regard to the introduction of semi-permanent street trading units as documented in the High Town post refurbishment trading review - 10^th October 2016.
