Petroleum Licensing
The Council’s Consumer Protection and Investigations section is
the licensing authority for the storage of petroleum spirit in
Cheshire. We need to licence petroleum spirit to make sure those
keeping and dispensing petrol do so in a safe manner that is
unlikely to cause risk to the public or environment

Application Evaluation Process
Petrol must be stored in accordance with certain conditions
attached to a licence that we issue and our aim is to ensure the
