There are 2 types of 'establishment' :

• A sex shop.
• A sex cinema.

A sex shop usually sells magazines, videos and other articles of a 'sexual' nature. A sex cinema shows films of a 'sexual' nature.

Powers are given to the Council to control this type of establishment through license conditions. These regulate the opening hours, the location, the outward appearance of the premises and even the operating name of the business.
