At the Housing and Customer Services Working
Group meeting on 22 October 2020 members recommended to Cabinet to
continue to research and gather further evidence to help establish
whether additional House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licensing or
selective licensing of the private rented sector was
justified.
This decision was approved by Cabinet on 14 December 2020 and
officers instigated the process of procuring the services of a
company to undertake the required additional research and provision
of a supporting report.
The report provides a summary of the findings from the research
undertaken and sets out recommendations for additional controls
that could be implemented to manage the quality of houses in
multiple occupation.
