      Article 4 Direction

      Requested Mon 19 December 2016
      Responded Thu 22 December 2016

      Do you operate an Article 4 direction in your area that requires HMOs to secure planning permission? If so, can I please know the area/areas covered.

       


      Response

      All Information regarding the Article 4 direction in relation to HMOs is available on our website at the following link;
      http://www.hastings.gov.uk/planning/advice/hmo/

      This details that the whole borough is covered by the direction, which says that planning permission will be required to change the use of a single family house into a shared house occupied by between three and six unrelated individuals. The change of use to an HMO occupied by more than 6 unrelated individuals has always needed planning permission, the Direction extends this to include smaller properties. The Direction came into effect on 02 July 2012.
