Landlords in Narborough deal with Blaby District Council for licensing, planning and housing standards. We keep those three in view together, so a layout that suits the licence also works for planning and building control.
You get one point of contact for the whole job, a fixed price for the agreed specification and a written programme showing when each stage happens.

Checked October 2026 against Blaby District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Blaby 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 couldn't confirm whether Blaby District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO planning permission service in Narborough
Planning for an HMO in Narborough starts with three questions: what the current lawful use is, whether an Article 4 direction covers the street, and what local policy says about the concentration of shared houses. We answer all three before you spend money on design.
For landlords and investors in Narborough and the rest of Leicestershire, we prepare planning applications and lawful development certificates, with the plans and evidence councils commonly ask for. We also explain where licensing and building regulations need a separate approval.
- Existing and proposed floor plans and site plans
- Planning statement covering concentration, amenity, parking and bins
- Lawful development certificate applications with dated evidence
- Submission and liaison with the planning officer
- Check of lawful use, Article 4 and local HMO policies
