Summary
If you trade in the street you may require a street trading consent. As consent sites in the Selby District are limited, please telephone for further details or email info@selby.gov.uk.
Applications should be made in writing (including by electronic means) to Selby District Council. You must provide specific information, including details of the street you wish to trade on and the days and times you wish to trade.
You may also be required to provide two photographs of yourself. You must comply with any conditions attached to a consent. When you apply for a street trading consent, we consult with:
- Highways Agency
- North Yorkshire County Council Highways Department
- North Yorkshire Police, and
- District Councillors
- Parish Clerks
Eligibility Criteria

- There isn't enough space in the street you wish to trade in, without causing interference or inconvenience to street users.
- You wish to trade for less days than any minimum required trading days.
- You are unsuitable to hold a consent do to any previous convictions or for other reasons.

Application Evaluation Process
Under certain circumstances if certain grounds for refusal exist the council may still award a consent but for fewer days than you require, or to allow trade in certain items. The council will either grant the application or contact you to discuss your application within a reasonable time.
You will be notified if the council intend to refuse the application, grant it on different terms than those applied for, confine trading to a particular place in a street, vary conditions of a consent or revoke a consent. The notice will detail the grounds for their decision and state that within seven days of the notice you can request in writing the opportunity to make representations.
A street trading consent may be revoked at any time.
