Part 10A, Section 204V: Appeals Schedule 22: Pavement Licences Enforcement Effect
This has the effect of introducing a new enforcement power for local authorities who are tasked with granting pavement licences. This new power applies where furniture which would normally be permitted by a pavement or other licence has been placed on a relevant highway without the required licence. This power allows the local authority to give notice requiring the person to remove the furniture before a date specified, and refrain from putting furniture on the highway unless they gain a licence. If furniture continues to be placed on the highway in contravention of the notice the local authority may remove and store the furniture, recover the costs from the person and refuse to return the furniture until those costs have been paid. If within 3 months of the notice being given the costs are not paid, the local authority can dispose of the furniture by sale or other means and retain the proceeds.
