Miles Platting and Newton Heath (two areas): Droylesden Road area and Scotland Street area
Outcome
We held a ten week consultation from 13 May to 22 July 2024 to find out what good housing means to local people. This information was used to decide if we need a selective licensing scheme in part of Miles Platting and Newton Heath. Read more about selective licensing

After reviewing comments from landlords and residents, we have decided to formally designate a selective licensing area around Droylesden Road and Scotland Street in Miles Platting & Newton Heath. This means that landlords and managing agents in these specific parts of Miles Platting & Newton Heath will need a licence to rent out a home. If you are a landlord in the area, you have up to 24 May 2025 to apply for a licence.
The scheme aims to improve management standards and conditions of private rented housing and support the reduction of antisocial behaviour – linked to environmental and waste management. For now, we are focusing on these parts of Miles Platting & Newton Heath. The Droylesden Road area and Scotland Street area includes around 373 private rented sector homes.
