North Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers Kingswood ward in Corby only. Whether a house in Corby needs planning permission to become a small HMO depends on whether it is inside that boundary, which we check for the exact address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in North Northamptonshire Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
