Ashfield District Council is the licensing and planning authority for Sutton-in-Ashfield. We confirm the house has the licence and planning status it needs before anything else.
Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

Checked October 2026 against Ashfield District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Ashfield District Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Ashfield District Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
