Can I be refused a licence?

Yes if during the licensing process the council feels the property does not meet the required conditions or if a landlord or manager fails to meet the ‘fit and proper’ person criteria then the council can:
  • refuse a licence
  • grant a licence with conditions
  • revoke a licence
  • vary a licence
  • refuse to vary a licence.
You may wish to appeal any decision we make in respect of a licence. You must appeal to the Residential Property Tribunal, normally within twenty-eight days by completing residential property tribunal form.
