Hounslow Council


Appeals against licensing decisions

An appeal may be made to a residential property tribunal against a decision of the council to:

  • Refuse to grant a licence

  • Grant a licence, including any conditions imposed

An appeal must normally be made within 28 days of the decision being made, but if the tribunal thinks there are good reasons to do so, it may extend the period for appeal. In considering an appeal the tribunal rehears the council’s decision, but is able to take account of new evidence put forward by the appellant.

In its decision, the tribunal may quash the council’s decision or vary or confirm it.
