Cambridge City Council — East of England.

Selective licensing: no scheme confirmed at council level.

Additional HMO licensing: no scheme confirmed at council level. This council's HMO licensing pages describe mandatory HMO licensing only — a licence is required where a property is occupied by 5 or more people forming 2 or more households who share facilities such as a kitchen or bathroom. No additional HMO licensing scheme is described on those pages. Additional licensing can be introduced at any time, so check the council's own pages before relying on this.
