Do I need a Licence?

The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 states that a sex establishment can be either a sex shop or a sex cinema.

A sex shop is a premises used for business which consists to a significant degree of selling sex articles.

A sex cinema is any premises used to a significant degree for the showing of films which are concerned primarily with, or relate to, or are intended to stimulate sexual activity.

In September 1982 the Council adopted a Policy, (which was effective from 1 December 1982), which limited the number of sex shops within the borough to zero.
