Part 1: Consumption of food and drink outdoors Section 7: Effects
Section 7(2) provides that where a licence is granted, or deemed to have been granted, any planning permission for anything done under the licence is deemed to have been given. Subsection (3) provides that where a pavement licence is in effect, a street trading licence is not needed for any activity authorised by the pavement licence. Subsection (4) provides that a person may still apply for permission to put furniture on the highway under Part 7A of the Highways Act 1980, but the local authority may not require them to apply under that Act, instead of under these provisions. Subsection (6) specifically applies the power in section 149 of the Highways Act so that local authorities may remove furniture placed on the highway should it constitute a nuisance or danger under that section.
	Subsections (9) and (10) are transitional provisions. They provide that where a person has applied for a licence under the Highways Act 1980 or the London Local Authorities Act 1990 or another local Act and has paid a fee and then, before a decision is made on that first application, the person applies for a pavement licence, the local authority cannot charge a fee in respect of the application for a pavement licence, and the first application is treated as being withdrawn.
