Plandome

HMO conversion: rules, council figures and cost

Nationally, Class L of the General Permitted Development Order allows a change between a C3 dwellinghouse and a C4 small HMO of 3 to 6 unrelated sharers without planning permission, unless an Article 4 direction has removed that right.[1]

Plandome's fixed fee for this service is £3,000 (VAT_WORDING_TBC). The council's own application fee is separate.
