North Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers Kingswood ward in Corby only. Whether a house in Corby needs planning permission to become a small HMO depends on whether it is inside that boundary, which we check for the exact address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in North Northamptonshire Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
Our HMO en-suite installation service in Corby
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Corby, starting with a check that each bedroom still meets its size standard once the en-suite is built. Councils take different views on whether en-suite floor area counts, so we confirm the local position first.
Older houses often have joists running the wrong way and soil stacks in fixed positions, so in Corby we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in Northamptonshire is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.
- Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
- Fire stopping where pipes pass through floors and walls
