Derby City Council's Article 4 direction covers Arboretum ward and parts of the wards inside the ring road, not Chaddesden, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Derby City Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
