Council launches consultation on an additional HMO Licensing scheme
Arun District Council is proposing to introduce Additional HMO Licensing in River ward in Littlehampton and Hotham and Marine wards in Bognor Regis.
This will be of particular interest to tenants, landlords, residents, letting agents or businesses living or operating in the area as you could be affected by the proposals outlined in the consultation document. We would like to hear your views.
If you live or operate outside of the proposed licensing area you might also be indirectly affected, and we would also like your feedback.
The consultation will help us to understand and identify any parts of the proposal that may need further consideration before deciding whether to introduce any scheme. Feedback will help shape the decision on how we proceed, what that will look like in practice, and how it will be implemented if an additional licensing scheme is agreed.
Cllr Sue Wallsgrove, Chair of the Environment Committee said:
“The introduction of an additional HMO licensing scheme would help towards the Council’s Vision of ensuring the housing stock within the district is maintained to a high standard. It is important that we hear your views on this consultation”.
The consultation is running over a 10-week period from 12 June to 20 August 2023.
You have until 20 August to share your views. You can find the full consultation document and complete our online survey here.
