Herefordshire Council is the licensing and planning authority for Leominster. We check its rules for the exact street before we draw a single partition.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 42 miles from Leominster. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

Checked October 2026 against Herefordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Herefordshire 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 Herefordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO floor plan service in Leominster
Licence applications for HMOs in Leominster commonly need a floor plan showing room sizes, room use, fire safety features and amenities. We measure the house on site, check the format the council asks for and draw plans that match the property as it is today.
For landlords across Herefordshire, our plans also support planning applications, building control and fire risk assessments. If you have changed the layout of a house in Leominster, we can update existing plans before a renewal, variation or sale.
