Empty Dwelling Management Orders

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many empty dwelling management orders were used in England in each of the last five years.

Answer

The Department does not collect data on the number of Empty Dwelling Management Order (EDMOs) that have been issued.

Local authorities can apply for an EDMO when a property has been empty for more than two years, subject to the production of evidence that the property has been causing a nuisance to the community and evidence of community support for their proposal. More information can be found on gov.uk here.
