Alternative options considered:
Most of the recommendations set out within the

There is discretion for the Council to impose different standard
conditions. The standard conditions that have been adopted are
considered appropriate and proportionate.
There is no statutory right of appeal in respect of any decisions
that may be made on behalf of the Council in respect of pavement
licences.
The Council could introduce a non-statutory right of appeal but
given the speed within which the Council has had to act in order to
implement these provisions, a right of appeal has not been provided
for at the present time.
