Checked October 2026 against Gedling Borough Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
Gedling Borough Council has proposed an Article 4 direction for three streets in Netherfield. None was in force when we checked. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Gedling Borough Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
HMO planning and Article 4 in Carlton: what we do
Planning for an HMO in Carlton 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 Carlton and the rest of Nottinghamshire, 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.
