All licences for street cafes are considered under the Highways Act 1980.
Street cafes enhance the attractiveness and vitality of Leeds City Centre, but it is important that they are properly managed and don't obstruct the highway or create a hazard for pedestrians.
You can download a street cafe licence application form from the downloads section of this page. If you have any queries or would like further advice about your application, please contact our city centre management team on 0113 247 4471.
Applications for street cafes are approved by Leeds City Council's highways service.
