Another Brigg business is seeking a pavement licence for customers to eat and drink while seated outside the premises.
The latest application submitted to North Lincolnshire Council relates to the Black Bull pub at 3 Wrawby Street.
The Craft Union Pub Company Ltd is seeking a pavement licence for tables and chairs directly outside the front of the Black Bull for consumption of food and drink.
Proposed days and hours of operation are Monday-Sunday, 10am to 10pm.
Pavement licences relate to the Business and Planning Act 2020.
There have been a number of similar applications to site tables and chairs on the paved area in Brigg town centre and others made under the Highways Act 1980.
Why are two pieces of legislation involved.
North Lincolnshire Council has clarified the requirements for Brigg Blog.
It explains: "Prior to the pandemic, anyone wishing to place an obstruction on the Highway, such as in the form of tables and chairs outside their premises, required a Highways Authorisation which has a lengthy consultation process.
"Due to the pandemic, government have brought in some temporary legislation in the form of Pavement Licences. These essentially mirror a Highways authorisation but reduce the consultation period and limit the cost, therefore supporting business by making it easier for premises such as food outlets to serve their customers outside during the pandemic.
"It is a matter for the individual premises as to if they apply for a Highways Authorisation or a Pavement Licence."
The council has also outlined why applications are being made under a Highways Act for town premises that are within the paved pedestrian area.
The authority says: "Highways Authorisations also include pavemented areas, such as the pedestrian area in Brigg. Therefore anyone placing tables and chairs on the pedestrian area requires either a Highways Authorisation or Pavement Licence. Hence the reference to obstructing the highway in the formal notice, as a footpath is classed as a highway."
