Nottingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Sherwood into a small HMO needs planning permission. We prepare the planning application before any conversion work starts. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Nottingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 December 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

How we handle HMO refurbishment work in Sherwood

We refurbish existing HMOs in Sherwood that have fallen behind current standards, whether the prompt is a licence renewal, a council inspection or rooms that have become hard to let. The survey splits the work into safety, licence and optional items so the priorities are clear.

Where rooms in a Sherwood house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Nottinghamshire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
