To consider the report of the Assistant Director Environment.

The Environmental Health and Licensing Manager presented an application for consent to street trade for a period of twelve months in Manaton Close, Marsh Barton, Exeter, which was a designated Consent Street under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1982.

Mr B proposed to operate a fast food (Burritos and Wraps) catering unit from Monday to Saturday 07:00 hours to 14:00 hours operating as the Inbox Food Co. He was yet to trade in Exeter and was aware that he would need to register as a food business and that all staff handling food would need to hold the relevant training in food handling.

Mr B attended and spoke in support of his application. He detailed his background and experience in business and in the catering industry and referred to his market research relating to this application. The intention was to utilise a catering trailer in a fixed location rather than a mobile van and that fresh produce would be collected on a daily basis which might lead to a slightly later operational start than 7:00am. He undertook to take up the recommendation from Members of distributing any surplus food to local charities such as Exeter Food Action.
