This Order specifies sets of conditions, in addition to the conditions set out in section 80 of the Housing Act 2004 (c.34), where if a set of conditions is satisfied in relation to an area, the local housing authority may make a selective licensing designation in respect of that area. Such a designation, once it comes into force, would have the effect of requiring landlords of private rented sector properties in the designated area to obtain a licence for their property.
