Street Cafe / Outdoor Seating

Street café permits allow users of existing food and beverage businesses to utilise outdoor space to extend their seating areas.

For businesses wishing to use Ceredigion County Council land, permission is needed to ensure the Health and Safety of others is not affected by these areas and a ‘permission to block a pathway’ application must be completed.

Tables and chairs are not permitted on pavements prior to a successful application to block a pathway.

You can download the Application Form to apply to use pavement space for tables and chairs.
