Right of appeal

If the site is deemed unsuitable for a pavement café, or if relevant representations are made which cannot be mitigated by conditions, then your application will be refused.

There is no statutory appeal process against a decision to refuse an application. However, if you can mitigate against the reasons for refusal, your representation will be considered by the Strategic Lead for Policy and Innovation or a delegated senior officer, and the Cabinet Member for City Services, whose decision will be final.
