Application process

Applications can be made online using GOV.UK.

It is wise to email the Licensing Team before you submit the application to check and see if your preferred area is not already in use by another collector on the date you wish to collect. You can email the team at Licensing@coventry.gov.uk.

Also please provide details of where you wish to collect from in the city centre.

The preferred site map needs to be uploaded as a supporting document with Gov.UK applications.

Your application will be processed within four weeks of the date you submit your application.

Tacit consent

Tacit consent applies. This means that you will be able to act as though your application is granted if you have not heard from the Council by the end of the target period.

Please note tacit consent will only apply once a full application has been submitted and you have received an acknowledgement.

Supply a return for a street collection from Coventry City Council

Organisations who have previously held a collection should have submitted their returns within a month of the collection. You can complete a return form on GOV.UK.
