What council licence do rallies need, other than for the beer tent ?

None as a Steam Rally is not a licensable activity.
But they could need planning permission if the council object to the use of the 14/28 day permitted development right as they are quite entitled to do.
Even if they don't effectively for any series of events with moveable structures, market stalls and any kind of motor based activity the limit is 14 days.
If the land is used for any other events the days are counted from the minute the first vehicle enters the ground until the last leaves at each event and it is very easy to run out of time on a site without realising. Have four weekend events with set up days and you've had your lot really.
It's worth bearing in mind that somewhere nearby there almost certainly
will be a 'professional objector' keeping count.
