Description
Introduction.
Torbay Council invites offers from parties interested in entering into a Lease for the right to place 2 x 20ft containers for catering and water sports at Torre Abbey Sands, Torquay.
The catering concession will provide the opportunity to sell refreshments, coffees, teas, alcoholic drinks, ice creams, and other food and beverage products.
The water sports concession will provide the opportunity to offer water sports equipment and vessels for hire to the public. It is also encouraged to provide space within one of the containers to enable the provision of water safety facilities by a local provider to be agreed with the landlord.
The Lease will be offered for a period of 4 years until 31st April 2031 with the opportunity to benefit from seasonal trade (as defined below). The Lease is to include the terms and conditions outlined in this document.
Location.
Situated in Torquay adjacent to the beach with close proximity to several hotels, theatre and restaurants, the area is very popular with holiday makers during the summer season, and locals all year round. The site is on the public walkway above the stepped revetments to the beach at Torre Abbey Sands shown edged red on plan no. EM4355 for identification purposes only. The precise location is to be agreed between the parties; however, Torbay Council reserves the right to finally determine the exact location.
Viewing.
Interested parties are free to view the location at their leisure.
Rateable Value / Street Trading Permit.
The Site does not currently hold a rating assessment, and the potential rating liability would depend on the use of the proposed containers. The Lessee shall be responsible for the payment of any business rates that may become due during the period of their Lease, therefore we advise all interested parties to check with the Local Authority’s non-domestic rates department in respect of their specific intentions.

Planning permission exists for two cabins, waste bin store and seating area from 1st May - 30th September and a mobile catering unit 1st October - 30th April annually. Details of the appearance, materials and colours to be used must be submitted and agreed by the Landlord. The Lessee is responsible for ensuring their use is within existing permission granted, see Planning ref: P/2026/0109/R3. The applicant is encouraged to make enquiries with Torbay Council’s Planning Department to ascertain whether or not planning amendments will be necessary.
