Licensing
Entertainment - The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 charges
District Councils with the responsibility of licensing places of indoor or outdoor entertainment.
Street Trading - The Street Trading Act (Northern Ireland) 2001 enables District Councils to regulate
street trading. The legislaon applies to every person selling, exposing or oering to supply a service in a
street or public place, whether or not in or from a staonary posion.
Road Closure- The Roads (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (Northern Ireland) 2010 amends the Road Trac
Regulaon (Northern Ireland) 1997 Order to provide relevant authories (District Councils and Transport
NI) the power to prohibit or restrict the use of a public road for the purpose of holding a special event
on a public road. A ‘special event’ is dened as any sporng event, social event or entertainment
which is held on a public road or the making of a lm on a public road. Consent of the Department for
Infrastructure (Roads Service) (DFI) is required. If the DFI Roads Service objects on the grounds of road
safety issues or trac management issues, then approval shall not be given.
Please indicate below if your event will include any of the following acvies
(ck as appropriate)
Theatrical performances

TheMusicLicence
PPL PRS Ltd
TheMusicLicence allows you to legally play music for employees or customers in your business through
the radio, TV, other digital devices and live performances.
Previously, businesses and organisaons had to obtain separate music licences from PPL and PRS for
Music. However, they have now come together to form PPL PRS Ltd and launch TheMusicLicence.
Do I need a music licence?
If you use, play or listen to recorded music in your business or organisaon, the chances are you need a
music licence.
Under The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, permission is needed from the relevant copyright
holders – those people who create music – in order to play or perform music in public.
Obtaining TheMusicLicence gives you this permission, in relaon to the vast majority of commercially
available music. This ranges from grassroots and independent arsts and composers through to the
biggest names in the business.
It means you don’t have to spend your me and energy contacng potenally hundreds of thousands of
rightsholders individually to get permission to play or perform their music in your business.
How it works - PPLPRS collect licence fees from UK businesses and organisaons on behalf of our parent
companies, PPL and PRS for Music.
PPL then distributes these music licence fees for the use of recorded music on behalf of record
companies and performers, while PRS for Music distributes music licence fees for the use of musical
composions and lyrics on behalf of songwriters, composers and publishers.
This ensures that the people who create music are fairly rewarded for their talent and work.
