What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Louth?

For licensed HMOs in England a room for one adult must be at least 6.51 square metres and a room for two adults at least 10.22 square metres. East Lindsey District Council may set additional standards, which we design to.

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. East Lindsey District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Louth?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether East Lindsey District Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Louth?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.
