These include the need for applicants to steward the event, having diversion and warning signs, with flashing lamps at each vehicle access point and being able to easily remove tables, chairs and other temporary objects to allow access for emergency vehicles.
Similarly, banners and bunting hanging across the road must be secured at a height of at least 7 metres (23 feet).
