What we consulted on

The council was consulting on a proposal to introduce two new property licensing schemes. The consultation ran from 11 December 2017 until 5 March 2018.

The schemes have been designed to improve the condition of private rented homes, reduce anti-social behaviour and support landlords by providing guidance and support.

The proposal is to introduce:

• A borough wide Additional Licensing Scheme for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO)
• A Selective Licensing Scheme applying to all private rented properties in 29 defined areas across the borough

Please read the different types of property licensing guidance (PDF, 31KB) for information on different licensing schemes.

Is your property in one of the 29 Selective Licensing areas?
