Companies will not be charged for the right to do so, nor will they need planning permission or scaled architectural plans, and the consent will remain in place until the end of 2020.

Those applying must have hours between 10am and 9pm, and there should be plans in place to restrict attendance and manage the movement of people in and around the premises.
