Checked October 2026 against Shropshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Shropshire 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 Shropshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
How we handle HMO floor plan work in Oswestry
Licence applications for HMOs in Oswestry 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 Shropshire, our plans also support planning applications, building control and fire risk assessments. If you have changed the layout of a house in Oswestry, we can update existing plans before a renewal, variation or sale.
