We have successfully defended a legal challenge to our selective and additional licensing schemes. Following this decision, we will now move forward with implementing the schemes. See the update in full here.
About additional licensing
We've made a new designation relating to additional licensing within the borough of Luton.
This designation, made on 25 October 2023, shall come into force on 5 February 2024 and applies to the whole of the borough of Luton.
When the scheme is in force having control of, or managing a property let as, a residential accommodation without a licence shall be a criminal offence:
- liable to prosecution
- upon summary, conviction liable to a fine of an unlimited amount

After you've applied
Processing of applications will not commence until after the scheme comes into force. We expect to receive a large number of applications to be made, so please be patient with us while we deal with them as quickly as we can.
