Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	None found
Selective licensing	None found

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

North Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers Kingswood ward in Corby only, not Rushden, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. 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.
