Evesham sits within Wychavon District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.
Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Checked October 2026 against Wychavon District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Wychavon District Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Wychavon District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
