What public registers do the council maintain?

Hastings Borough Council is responsible for licensing in Hastings. As the licensing authority we have a responsibility to maintain registers on certain licensable activities, including: 

• Applications for Premises/Club Premises Licences made under Licensing Act 2003
• Applications for Premises Licences made under Gambling Act 2005
• Scrap Metal dealers/Collectors as licensed under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013
• Sex Establishments as licensed under Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 as amended
• Caravan Sites as registered under the Caravan Sites and Control of development Act 1960 as amended
• Housing Selective Licences
• Drivers of Hackney Carriages
• Drivers of Private Hire Vehicles.

These public registers contain information about all of the licence applications we receive and approve.

We also manage a register of Housing Selective Licences which will shortly be available to view online. Housing Licensing Registers should currently be requested via licensingrentedproperty@hastings.gov.uk

We are also responsible for maintaining a public register of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licences. We are currently working on moving our HMO licence register to our online public registers system.
