Do you rent, live, work, or let properties in Lewisham?
We want to hear your views on our plan to tackle rogue landlords and improve neighbourhoods by introducing selective property licensing for landlords in parts of Lewisham.
About the project
We have launched a consultation on plans to implement a selective licensing scheme covering all privately rented properties occupied by a single household or two unrelated individuals in certain parts of the borough.
Find out more about the proposals and fill out the consultation in the tiles below
We are proposing three selective licensing designations that would cover 16 wards for a period of five years. If approved, all landlords and or managing agents with properties in the area that are privately rented to single households (or two sharers) will need to apply for a licence to legally let the property.
Designation One would cover Brockley, Lewisham Central, New Cross, Rushey Green, Catford South and Perry Vale wards (focused on reducing anti-social behaviour and improving housing conditions).
Designation Two would cover Evelyn, Ladywell, Lee Green, Sydenham and Crofton Park wards (focused on improving housing conditions).
Designation Three would cover Bellingham, Downham, Forest Hill, Grove Park and Whitefoot wards (focused on raising the living conditions of the most deprived)
We want all landlords, tenants, residents and business owners to have a say on housing in the community. That’s why we have extended the consultation period and made the consultation quicker and easier to complete
We appreciate the time spent completing this survey. You will be entered in our prize draw, where we are giving away £100 Love2Shop vouchers.
