Landlords in Stapleford deal with Broxtowe Borough Council for licensing, planning and housing standards. We keep those three in view together, so a layout that suits the licence also works for planning and building control.
Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.

Broxtowe Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers parts of the Beeston wards, not Stapleford, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Broxtowe Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
