Southwark Council intend to register private landlords who rent out some Lordship Lane properties

Received the consultation papers about licensing today.

Seems like a good idea.

So long as it's not used as a cash cow and actually achieves something. Just a database would be fairly pointless.

Also, it seems strangely limited by your description. Why only those landlords/that area?

Or phone 0207-525 3927 to talk with the Private Sector Housing Team.

Lordship Lane has been identified as a place with anti-social behaviour.

I live on lordship lane opposite the police station. I just did the check your address thing on the website and our flat isn't in the zone. So it's not all of lordship lane. I've never had any problems.

Trying to get this across London. Most landlords not interested and would pass cost on to tenants.

Hard to see what this is for ... is it to try and make landlords behave more responsibly or is it to do with the tenants (ie the anti-social behaviour angle"

[tiddles]

I have just done this out of interest and a range of house numbers in my street pop up. So does this mean these houses are identified as rented accommodation? seems a bit off to publish the details of where people actually are living and effectively their personal details.

Intrigued as to how this is going to work. The web page doesn't give enough info about the aims.

Confirmed start date 1 November 2015.

I can't work out whether the "pink" streets are included in the final confirmed designation.

Ashbourne Grove

Chesterfield Grove

Blackwater Street

Nutfield Road

Frogley Road

Spurling Road

Zenoria Street

Bawdale Road

Hansler Road

Shawbury Road

Here's the map of the "Lordship Lane (north)" designated area approved by Southwark Council on 21 July 2015.

If you are a landlord or tenant in this designated area it affects you.

Maps of other designated areas are on the Southwark Council web-site.

With the change in tax relief rules for private landlords this seems a bit pointless as it is likely many private landlords will sell up.
