If you are going to organise a Car Boot Sale (regarded in law as a temporary market), or allow one to be held on your land you are required by law to inform the Council. There are four exceptions to this rule:
- The Car Boot Sale is to be held inside a building,
- It is to be held on a public road. If a car boot sale is to be held on a public road the consent of Suffolk County Council as Highways Authority may also be required.
- The proceeds from the sale of articles (not pitch fees) are to be used for charitable, social, sporting or political purposes
- Less than 5 vehicles are involved.
If you do need to tell the Council about a Car Boot Sale then you must do so in writing at least one month before the sale is due to be held.
Alternatively, you should write to:
Head of Natural and Built Environment Division
Babergh District Council
Corks Lane
Hadleigh
IPSWICH
Suffolk
IP7 6SJ
If you hold a Car Boot Sale or allow one to be held on your land without giving the Council at least one months' notice you may be committing an offence for which you could be fined up to £1000
