An HMO in Eastwood has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Broxtowe Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers parts of the Beeston wards, not Eastwood, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Broxtowe Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO planning permission service in Eastwood
Planning for an HMO in Eastwood 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 Eastwood 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.
- Lawful development certificate applications with dated evidence
- Advice on Class L, C4 and sui generis routes
- Planning statement covering concentration, amenity, parking and bins
- Submission and liaison with the planning officer
- Existing and proposed floor plans and site plans
