New application for Revocation/Variation of licence

Variation
Your proposal to change the conditions of a housing licence is made under section 69 and 92 of the Housing Act 2004. That section allows for the Licence Holder and the Council to agree to changes to Licence Conditions already granted.

Apart from the conditions required by statute, there is no limit to what can be changed provided the parties consent to the changes. The purpose of making changes is to relieve or remove a legal obligation on the Licence Holder.

Variation can include change of manager (unless they are also the licence holder), a change to the levels of occupancy, if there is a change of address or details of any interested party such as the manager, owner, mortgagor, freeholder, leaseholder

Revocation
Your proposal for revocation of a housing licence is made under section 70 and 93 of the Housing Act 2004. Those sections allow for the licence holder and the Council to agree that a licence can be revoked.

Your proposal will be considered and, if necessary, we may seek further information from you. An officer may need to inspect the property before a decision is made.

If it is agreed that a licence will be revoked a notice confirming revocation will be sent to the licence holder. As revocation is with the licence holders consent then the notice will be immediately effective.

Any supporting documents should be attached to this application.

All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
