Checked October 2026 against West Northamptonshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

West Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers the whole former Northampton borough, not Brackley, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. West Northamptonshire Council's additional licensing covers parts of Northampton and Daventry, which doesn't include Brackley, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for there.
