Where considered appropriate the council may impose additional special conditions on the grant of a licence.

The Metropolitan Police, Greater London Authority and the Mayor’s Office have together sought to incorporate a protective security condition to pavement licences. Accordingly, the manager and/or at least one responsible member of staff for each premises must register and successfully the complete nationally recognised counter terrorism training product referred to as ACT eLearning package within 10 days of the pavement licence application being made, unless they have already done so.

The eLearning course is available on the GOV.UK website, it is free of charge and takes about 45 minutes to complete. (ACT eLearning Certificates are provided on successful on-line completion)

If the council considers that a licence holder has breached a condition of a licence, it may either revoke the licence or serve a notice on the licence-holder requiring them to take such steps to remedy the breach as are specified in the notice within a time specified.

If the licence-holder fails to comply with a notice, the council may revoke the notice or take the steps itself and recover the costs of doing so from the licence-holder.

A licence may also be revoked in the following circumstances:

1. Some or all of the part of the relevant highway to which the licence relates has become unsuitable for any purpose in relation to which the licence was granted

2. As a result of the licence:

• there is a risk to public health or safety, or
• anti-social behaviour or public nuisance is being caused or risks being caused
• the highway is being obstructed (other than by anything done by the licence-holder pursuant to the licence

3. Anything material stated by the licence-holder in their application was false or misleading, or

4. The licence-holder did not comply with the duty to fix the notice to the premises and secure that it remained in place during the public consultation period
