Although East Cambridgeshire District Council does not require businesses that carry out massage and special treatments be licensed, if your establishment includes 'special treatments' you will require a 'special treatments registration’ to register both the premises and the person carrying out the special treatment.
In the East Cambridgeshire district special treatments include Skin Piercing.
It is in the public interest that East Cambridgeshire District Council must process your application before it can be authorised. If you have not received a response to your application within a reasonable period or you require further information, please contact environmental health.
