Article 4 Directions in Leicester
229 active directions in our records · 2 HMO-related
An Article 4 direction removes specified permitted development rights in a defined area, so that changes which would normally be automatic instead need a full planning application. For HMOs this usually means removing the right to convert a home (use class C3) to a small HMO (C4). The directions below for Leicester are sourced from planning.data.gov.uk; coverage varies by council, so always verify with the local planning authority before relying on it.

The HMO angle in Leicester
