Luton Council Wins Legal Challenge Over Licensing Schemes
Luton Council has successfully defended a legal challenge to its Selective and Additional Licensing Schemes. The Supreme Court refused an appeal by Luton Landlords and Letting Agents Limited against the council’s proposal.
As a result, Luton Council has introduced Selective Licensing in the Town Centre and Park Town areas. Additional licensing for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) now applies across the whole town.
These developments are relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks operating in Luton, as they may affect licensing requirements for rental properties and HMOs in the area.
