The recently passed 2020 UK Business and Planning Bill includes two key provisions for operators of licenced premises; a new system to secure a ‘pavement licence’ and provisions to allow operators to provide sales where their premises licence would not usually permit. Restaurant and bar owners in the UK are taking advantage of the new pavement licence by creating parklets on parts of a road or highway adjacent to their premises, extending the space in which they operate and allowing them to implement effective social distancing measures. Parklets began life in America as temporary pavement extensions which would sit on existing parking spaces with a mix of furniture and planters for passers-by to sit on and enjoy their surroundings. With the recent changes to howwe socialise in public, these parklets are starting to become more of a permanent solution in the UK. The importance of protecting these spaces with relevant HostileVehicle Mitigation solutions is critical. The Marshalls Landscape Protection Parklet Marshalls Landscape Protection offer bespoke parklet systems providing businesses with the perfect solution to create a safe, socially distant dining experience or space to relax.
