The HMO Licensing Policy 2020, includes a designation of the Additional HMO Licensing Scheme for Castle, Uplands and St Thomas wards. With the reforms to Swansea Council’s ward boundaries, a new Waterfront ward was created in May 2022 within the former boundaries of the Castle and St Thomas wards. The boundaries of Waterfront are therefore already designated into the current scheme. All the existing HMO properties in Waterfront are subject to the scheme under either Castle or St Thomas. An addendum is needed for the Policy to reflect the new ward boundaries.
