Sex Establishments

Sex Establishments, including sex cinemas and sex shops, need a licence from us in order to operate within the district.

A licence will be considered following an application against our conditions for sex establishments. If agreed, a licence granted is valid for one year after which it will need renewing.

All conditions attached must be obeyed. We reserve the right after the grant, renewal or transfer of a licence to dispense with, modify or relax or modify conditions and restrictions.

A licence may be revoked if at any time the holder is convicted of a using the premises not in accordance with the conditions. Premises may not change use with our written consent.

Advice should be sought from our Planning department to determine if planning permission is required.
