The project

Tables and chairs on the pavement.

A pavement licence needs a scaled layout showing the seating area against the frontage and the footway, with clearance for pedestrians.

What we drew

  • A scaled site layout of the seating area
  • Dimensions showing the footway width retained
  • The frontage and boundary of the licensed area

Drawn the way licensing teams expect, so it is assessed rather than returned.

Licensing teams assess these against highway safety, so clearance for pedestrians and the exact extent of the licensed area matter more than presentation. Getting both right first time is what keeps tables outside rather than in storage.

Cafés and restaurants that want to use the pavement need a clear licence drawing showing the layout and dimensions. This sheet sets out the seating area against the frontage and footway.

A precise layout drawing is what a licensing team needs to approve outdoor seating.
