Licences, permits and registrations
The Trading Standards and Licensing team is responsible for regulating the commercial environment, protecting consumers and businesses alike from rogue traders and illegal practices and co-ordinating the regulation of alcohol, gambling and entertainment licensing.
The work of the team contributes significantly to improving Community Safety, especially tackling anti social behaviour, nuisance and reducing the harm and disorder caused by alcohol.
We administer and issue a variety of licenses, registrations, approvals and permits relating to a range of activities and businesses. These activities range from placing a builder's skip on the highway to running a zoo.
Not all licenses are administered by Barnet Council; some licenses such as taxi licensing and petroleum licensing are issued by other agencies.
