Landlords in Burntwood deal with Lichfield District 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.

Checked October 2026 against Lichfield District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Lichfield District 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 Lichfield District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
