Newcastle Licensing consultation
I sent the following to Edwin, he forwarded to external review team 30th May, no response to date, prompted him again today …
Bruce H states we should email you directly with views about licensing, therefore I have 2 specific questions:
1. What absolutely staggers me is if I were to buy todayin Heaton, I have to pay the full 5yr licence cost, only to have to renew it again, at full 5yr cost, in 2025 when the licence scheme resets & is renewed! What happened to the concept of pro rata?
2. Now that the government has scrapped the EPC plans to get properties to C rating, why the council can’t lower the rating to a D to qualify for the £100 licence discount? This would be a major boost to licence holders moving forward. It’s so difficult to get a Tyneside flat to a C rating & also you allow accreditation for EPC E ratings, so why the mammoth jump to a C for a discount, when it’s so difficult to achieve?
