S.79 the Housing Act 2004 allows Local Authorities to implement a Selective Licensing Scheme (SLS). A Guide for Local Authorities (2015) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/selective-licensing-in-the-private-rented-sector-a-guide-for-local-authorities sets out the criteria that must be met to meet the conditions for such a scheme. The Council is seeking to commission a provider to undertake the consultation for selective licensing. Consultation is to be undertaken in each of the wards as detailed in the Cabinet Report using a variety of creative methods of communication. Considering the need for Covid-19 compliance, methods to be used to include face to face, group sessions, presentations and on-line questionnaire.
