HMO conversions in Ashby-de-la-Zouch: common questions

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether North West Leicestershire District Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.

Does a converted HMO in Ashby-de-la-Zouch need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. North West Leicestershire District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.
