Annex I Pavement Cafes impact

It is estimated that 19 businesses who currently have pavement café licences would need to have their café licence withdrawn as the space will be needed to accommodate blue badge parking as well as pedestrian and vehicular access in these areas.

In some locations (marked with an Asterix), it may be possible to keep some licences but only where blue badge parking isn’t possible as the objective is to allow blue badge parking in the pedestrian area (on double yellow lines, for 3 hours maximum), not just drop off.  This would need a case by case review and we would need to consider protecting the café areas like has been done on Fossgate.  Obviously there is a wider impact on potential future pavement cafes which under current traffic regulation orders would be approved but will not be in the future.
