Although, according to the group's website, they are planning to appeal.
Must still be a lot of money to be made in being a landlord.
'Dear Landlords,
You may have seen recent press articles stating Hyndburn Landlords have failed to overturn the Selective Licensing Scheme.
Firstly we must confirm our application has been declined based on the papers, presented.
HOWEVER, this does not mean we have failed to achieve our goals, it is not uncommon for applications for Judicial review to be declined based on the papers and we can advise that our legal representatives have now submitted the necessary documents for a re-determination.
This application will finally allow our case to be presented orally at the high court the outcome of which remains to be seen.
Let us also please remember that at no time has Hyndburn Landlords or its members sought solely to overturn the scheme, but rather have the scheme size reduced. We have always maintained this scheme is too large and will be poorly administered by Hyndburn Borough Council, to the detriment of landlords, tenants and the whole private rented sector.
We can not comment further in a public domain, if any landlord wishes for further details please do not hesitate to contact any of the committee members via Thompson’s or Eafield & Maple.
In the meantime we can assure all members that Hyndburn Landlords continue to fight this flawed scheme, updates to follow.
Our thanks for your support.'
