North Warwickshire Borough Council is the licensing and planning authority for Atherstone. We check its rules for the exact street before we draw a single partition.
Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

How we handle HMO floor plan work in Atherstone
Licence applications for HMOs in Atherstone 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 Warwickshire, our plans also support planning applications, building control and fire risk assessments. If you have changed the layout of a house in Atherstone, we can update existing plans before a renewal, variation or sale.
