Newcastle are looking to renew yet again the original licensing areas which have been licensed I think for 15 years so far! I suggest that Landlords respond as if they get little response they presume that everyone likes and supports the renewal! Dear Stakeholder, We are currently consulting on proposals that could see the renewal of selective licensing schemes in areas of Newcastle for a further five years, starting from 30 September 2026, when the current schemes come to an end. There are currently nine selective licensing areas in operation across Newcastle. Under the new proposals, we are seeking views on renewing selective licensing schemes in the following areas: - Byker Old Town - Allendale Road - Greater High Cross All private rented properties within a designated selective licensing area must be licensed unless legally exempt.Further InformationMore about property licensing in Newcastle: (https://new.newcastle.gov.uk/property-licensing-schemes-newcastle) Read the full Cabinet Report, including evidence supporting the proposals:Available online (https://democracy.newcastle.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=857&MId=14692&Ver=4) Have Your SayWe invite landlords and stakeholders to share your views on the proposals between 1 August 2025 and 26 October 2025 by visiting:👉 (http://www.letstalknewcastle.co.uk/) Upcoming Information Events Join us at one of our public consultation events to learn more, ask questions, and share your feedback: - Wednesday 3 September | 5:00–7:00pmWelbeck Road Evangelical Church, Welbeck Rd, NE6 2HU - Wednesday 10 September | 5:00–7:00pmWest End Customer Service Centre & Library, Condercum Road, NE4 9JH - Wednesday 17 September | 5:00–7:00pmCouncil Chamber, Civic Centre, Barras Bridge, NE1 8QHEach session will include a short presentation (5:00–5:30pm) followed by a Q&A.
