Catalogue captured 2026-10-16 · Government direction #6101800 · Research record, not legal certification

Evidence status: This is an independent explanation of a published government dataset entry. It is not confirmation that this direction is operative, that a particular building lies within it or that a licence is required. The signed council instrument and mapped boundary take precedence over this page.

Associated mapped areas

We did not find an area record with both the same organisation identifier and the same local direction reference. This reflects data coverage, not the absence of mapped restrictions. Consult the council document.

How to use this evidence for an HMO investment

  1. Identify the correct full address and existing lawful use. A change from a dwellinghouse (C3) to a small HMO (C4) can raise a different question from a large sui generis HMO.
  2. Read the linked council document, not only this catalogue entry. Identify the precise permitted-development rights withdrawn, confirmation or effective date, exceptions and exact mapped boundary.
  3. Request the relevant boundary map directly from the local planning authority because a matched area is not available here.
  4. Check any existing planning permissions separately from mandatory, additional and selective HMO licensing obligations; these are different regimes.
