Questions about HMO licence application in Clay Cross

Who issues HMO licences in Clay Cross?

North East Derbyshire District Council is the licensing authority for Clay Cross. We prepare the application and supporting documents, and the council decides whether to grant the licence and on what conditions.

Can you fix the issues a council inspection found?

Yes. We price the works on the inspection report, carry them out and provide the evidence the council asks for.
