Premises appearance and layout

We expect premises to:

  • have an external appearance which is in keeping with the locality
  • prevent the display outside the premises of photographs or other images which may be construed as offensive to public decency
  • adequate lighting to allow monitoring of all public areas
  • surveillance by CCTV
  • surveillance by CCTV of all private booths.
