Landlords in Bewdley deal with Wyre Forest District Council for licensing, planning and housing standards. We keep those three in view together, so a layout that suits the licence also works for planning and building control.

We can keep a photographic record of each stage, which is useful evidence when the council inspects or a buyer's surveyor asks questions later.
