You're right to strip that out. In a public advert, stating "Licensed for 4 households, max 5 people" is sufficient. Explicitly naming the council or stating "we comply with X" is unnecessary and can invite extra scrutiny from tenants or competitors.
Here is the final, concise, compliant advert with that language removed.

Would you like me to also redraft the tenancy clause (the one prohibiting sleeping in the small room) so it also removes any reference to the council by name?
