Burnley Council Opens Consultation on Selective Licensing in Three Areas

Burnley Council has launched a consultation on selective licensing proposals affecting three neighbourhoods in the town. The plans include the redesignation of existing licensing schemes in Burnley Wood with Healey Wood and around Leyland Road, as well as the introduction of a new licensing area around Lyndhurst Road.

The consultation is open to residents, landlords, businesses, and community organisations. If implemented, landlords with properties in these areas could be subject to new or renewed selective licensing requirements.

Letting agents and inventory clerks operating in Burnley should be aware of these proposed changes, as they may impact compliance obligations for rental properties within the affected neighbourhoods. The council's consultation process invites feedback from all stakeholders before any final decisions are made.
