Fenland District Council recognises the importance of decent housing for all residents and for this purpose we have a dedicated Private Sector Housing Service striving to achieve both national standards and sustain efficient, warm and safe homes throughout the district.

In order to fulfill these targets the service is responsible for:

• Regulation and enforcement of housing standards in the private sector including Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and HMO licensing.
• Administration of the Private Sector Renewal Assistance Scheme providing residents with financial assistance to help improve the standard of their own homes.
• Administration of the Disabled Facilities Grants programme assisting with adapting private residencies to meet the needs of disabled occupants.
• The Cashback initiative providing incentive for residents to install energy efficiency measures in connection with the Climate Change programme.
• Regulation and licensing of residential caravan sites, park homes and other sites.
