HMO rules in Coventry City Council

Checked October 2026 against Coventry City Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Coventry City Council's Article 4 direction covers 11 wards across the city, including Earlsdon, Foleshill, Lower and Upper Stoke, Radford, St Michael's and Westwood. Whether a house in Binley 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. Coventry City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 3 May 2030), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

Our HMO compliance audit service in Binley

Councils across the West Midlands set their own HMO standards on top of the national rules. Our audits of houses in Binley check against both, and we can quote for any work the report identifies once you have read it.
