If you want to sell, expose or offer for sale any article (including a living thing) in a street, then you must hold a Street trading consent issued to you by Portsmouth City Council. It is an offence to engage in street trading without the benefit of a consent.
Pages within this section will tell you :

• What legal requirements you must meet to get a consent
• What policy guidelines we have adopted
• What information we need from you to enable us to consider your application.

We will be asking you to complete an application form and to provide other information in order that we can process your application quickly. All information received will be treated with respect and in confidence.
Please read this page carefully. Feel free to ask (or phone) for advice at any time. It might help if you also read "Take a Look at Licensing" which is a general guide to our services and is available on request.
