HMO rules across Shropshire's councils

Council	Additional licensing	Selective licensing	Article 4 (small HMOs)
Shropshire Council	Not confirmed	Not confirmed	Not confirmed
Telford & Wrekin Council	None found A planned borough-wide scheme was revoked in September 2026	Not confirmed	Due to start Borough-wide, due to start 27 February 2027

Checked October 2026. Mandatory licensing for five or more people applies in every council. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for the address before work starts.

We found no Article 4 directions for small HMOs in force among Shropshire's councils that we could confirm. Large HMOs always need planning permission. Article 4 directions are due to start or proposed in: Telford & Wrekin Council. We found no additional licensing schemes in force that we could confirm, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
