Stoke-on-Trent City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Meir into a small HMO needs planning permission. This is an immediate direction that took effect on 23 October 2026 and lapses unless the council confirms it within six months. Before we take a house on, we check it has the planning status it needs. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Stoke-on-Trent City Council proposed a citywide additional licensing scheme in August 2026, subject to consultation, so smaller HMOs may need a licence in future.
