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.
