Separate council licensing research

The linked legal instrument originates from a document hosted by Coventry Council. Licensing and Article 4 planning have separate statutory tests; if you are evaluating an HMO in that authority, see our Coventry HMO licensing and management research →. This cross-reference does not establish legal applicability or planning clearance.

How to use this evidence for an HMO investment

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.
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 Identify the precise permitted-development rights withdrawn, confirmation or effective date, exceptions and exact mapped boundary.
Compare the distinct mapped area records above, then obtain the authoritative map for the actual building footprint.
Check any existing planning permissions separately from mandatory, additional and selective HMO licensing obligations; these are different regimes.
