Street Trading

Street Trading is defined as the selling or offering for sale of any article in the street. This includes food such as burgers, kebabs, doughnuts etc. or other things such as household items or novelty items.

The document attached to this page is a list of streets in the Doncaster area which are designated as PROHIBITED. This means that street trading is ILLEGAL and is therefore NOT permitted.

You do not need a Street Trading Consent if you are: 

  • Trading as a Pedlar under licence issued by a Police Authority
  • A market trader operating at a licensed market venue
  • A news vendor selling only newspapers and periodicals
  • If you are trading on private land you may not need a consent. The landowner may need planning permission and you are advised to contact the Council's Planning Office.               

Food traders must also be registered with their local Environmental Health office.
