Apply for 'A' Board licences
We allow 'A' Boards on Micklegate, with a licence.
Micklegate is an appropriate location for licensed 'A' Boards due to pavement widths and other characteristics, which are not typical of other streets in York, within the 'A' Boards prohibition zone.
An 'A' Board licence:
- lasts 12 months
- costs £321

Apply for an 'A' board licence
When applying for an 'A' Board licence there's scope for pre-discussion or advice; we'll tell you if we consider your application 'in scope' or 'not in scope'.
If your application is 'in scope' you must page the licensing fee, before your 'A' Board licence will be approved. You must display your licence within your business (window or door), including a photograph of the approved location.
If we consider your application 'not in scope':
- you may be asked to provide further information
- a licence may be refused
- you can appeal our decision; you'll need to submit details of attenuating circumstances for review
- any appeal will be either approved or dismissed
