What this covers
It applies in England — but not uniformly within them, because no single national statute governs it.
Why you need it
We hold no national enabling statute for this licence. See the note above for why. Rather than cite an Act that does not create it, we say so plainly — your council remains the authority on whether you need it.
Who issues it
Your local council runs this, and it does so under its own byelaws or a local Act rather than a national statute. What one council requires, its neighbour may not, and some may not license it at all.
Where to apply
Duty, penalty and exemption labels are Guvnor’s analysis of the enabling instrument, not the instrument itself. Fees, forms and conditions are set by the issuing authority — always check the linked source.
