What is Street Trading?

 

Street Trading is defined as:  The selling or offering for sale of any article in the street.  This includes food such as burgers, kebabs, doughnuts etc. or other things such as household items.

 

All streets in the Borough of Basingstoke and Deane are designated as Consent Streets.  This means that any person who wishes to sell items from a trailer or stall in a street must first obtain a Street Trading Consent from Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council.

 

Food traders must also be registered with their local Environmental Health office.

 

Exemptions

You do not need a Street Trading Consent if you are:

 

Trading as a Pedlar under licence issued by a Police Authority

A market trader operating at a licensed market venue

A news vendor selling only newspapers and periodicals

If you are trading on private land you may not need a consent if the pitch is not visible from a public highway.  To confirm the situation you are advised to contact the Environmental Health Team (01256 844844) or use the email link below. The landowner may need planning permission and you are advised to contact the Councils Planning Department.
