Street trading is defined as the selling, exposing or offering articles for sale in a street.
The definition of a 'street' is very wide and includes any road, footway, beach or other area to which the public have access without paying and service areas as defined under Section 329 of the Highways Act 1980.
The Authority has adopted Schedule 4 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 to control street trading for the whole of its area. The Authority has designated all streets on Anglesey as 'consent streets' for street trading purposes. The effect of this designation is that street trading in any consent street within the Isle of Anglesey is prohibited, subject to the legal exemptions, without first obtaining consent to trade from the Authority.
When applying to trade from private land the applicant will require written permission from the owner, who may need planning consent, before any application can be considered and from the Property Section if the land is owned by the Authority.
The Street Trading Policy also covers traders who move from street to street and often referred to as 'mobile traders'.
The policy has been adopted to control street trading and sets out Isle of Anglesey County Council’s standards for determining applications for, and enforcement of, street trading activities on Anglesey.
