What permissions do you need to create a HMO?

You require planning permission to convert your property to an HMO irrespective of the number of people who will be accommodated.   You should contact our Planning Control section for further information on these requirements.

If you are creating a new HMO or making changes to an existing property you will likely need building regulation approval.  Please see Building Control for further information.
