    1. In Hastings, we have an Article 4 Direction that came into effect on 2 July 2012 which removes permitted development rights. This means planning permission is required for change of use from a house to a HMO where three to six unrelated people will live.

    2. The Article 4 Direction mentioned above covers the whole Borough.

    3. No, at time of writing.

    4. N/A.

    5. planning@hastings.gov.uk
