Planning versus licensing: Article 4 directions can remove particular permitted-development rights; they are not HMO licences. The national records below are incomplete and typically omit legal commencement dates. Source membership does not establish whether a property lies within an operative direction. Inspect signed instruments, planning maps and change-of-use history with the local planning authority.

How to check a specific HMO conversion

  1. Identify the exact full address and whether the intended use is C3, C4 or sui generis; a postcode centroid is not the building boundary.
  2. Locate and read the relevant signed direction and its map, including start/end dates and the exact permitted-development right withdrawn.
  3. Check whether permission already exists or is needed for the proposed works/use. A planning direction does not by itself determine an HMO licence requirement.
  4. Check the borough's current mandatory, additional and selective licensing schemes independently, including exemptions and occupancy tests.
