HMOs, Houses in Multiple Occupation
|
Oxford City Council has introduced an Article 4 Direction which means planning
permission is needed to turn a family home into an HMO within the City
boundaries.
An HMO is a dwelling in which three or more unrelated persons forming two or more households share an amenity such as a bathroom, toilet or cooking facilities. A household is defined as either single person or members of the same family who are living together. In practice, this means three students sharing a 3 bedroom house is now classified as an HMO and needs planning permission and licensing. Here at Leys Longden and Co, we can * Carry out an assessment against the guidelines * Arrange for a planning and license application to be submitted to the Council * Deal with possible alterations to the property * Support you with queries arising from the HMO, some of which may be historical. |
