HMO Planning Permission in
Llandudno
Llandudno doesn’t currently have an Article 4 direction restricting small HMO conversion, so permitted development is usually available for 3-6 occupant HMOs. Larger HMOs and licensing requirements are a different matter entirely, and that’s where most people actually run into trouble.

Llandudno hasn’t imposed an Article 4 direction on small HMOs, so a straightforward 3-6 occupant conversion is usually permitted development – no planning application needed for the change of use itself. That’s genuinely good news, but it’s not the end of the story.
Licensing is a completely separate legal requirement from planning, applying nationwide once a property houses 5+ occupants from 2+ households – permitted development for planning purposes doesn’t exempt you from this. National minimum room sizes apply too, regardless of Llandudno’s planning status.
Just because Llandudno doesn’t require planning permission for a small HMO doesn’t mean there’s nothing to get right – licensing and room-size compliance still need proper attention, and we help you get both correct from the start.
