1.1 The Sub-Committee considered applications for permanent street trading licences in respect of 13 pitches on Strutton Ground Market. On 20 March 2019 the Licensing Committee approved the strategy and process for determining applications. As part of the Strategy, the Licensing Service advertised the vacancies for Strutton Ground Market pitches between 1 June 2019 and 31 July 2019. All of the applications were reviewed against the criteria by officers from the Licensing Service, Environmental Health, and City Economic and Development teams who provided an initial score. Following their initial score the Applicants were invited to attend an interview to assist their applications.
1.2 Licensing received in total 13 applications from 11 applicants.
