Nottingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Bilborough 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.

Void and turnaround refurbishment in Bilborough: common questions

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

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

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Nottingham City 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.

Does a converted HMO in Bilborough need a licence?

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

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Bilborough?

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. Nottingham City Council may set additional standards, which we design to.
