HMO Planning Permission in
Radstock
Radstock 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.

Because Radstock doesn’t currently restrict small HMO conversion through Article 4, most 3-6 person conversions here proceed without a planning application. Where people in Radstock actually get caught out is assuming that means nothing else applies.
Mandatory HMO licensing kicks in nationwide at 5+ occupants from 2+ households, completely independent of Radstock’s planning status, with its own room-size and facility standards that apply regardless of whether planning permission was needed.
Just because Radstock 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.
