(Imagine the benefits of increasing the occupancy of your HMO without the hassle of Change of Use planning permission?)

Looking to convert your C4 HMO (up to 6 occupants) into a larger sui generis HMO (7+ occupants)? Or increase the size of your large HMO without the hassle of a formal Full Planning application?

We will share with you the documents and evidence used in obtaining successful Lawful Development Certifcate applications for 7-bed, 8-bed, 10-bed and 11-bed HMO’s, even in Article 4 Area.

The smartest route is not full planning permission — it’s applying for a Lawful Development Certificate (LDC).

Why?
Most full planning applications for sui generis use are rejected due to:

❌ Neighbour objections - Residents often oppose HMOs due to fears of Anti-social behaviour, Noise and disturbance etc.

❌ Parking Issues - Lack of parking is one of the most common grounds for refusal.

❌ Overconcentration / "HMO Saturation" - Many councils have policies limiting the number of HMOs in a given area.

❌ Impact on Character of Area - Councils reject on "amenity" grounds, claiming that large HMOs change the character of family neighbourhoods

❌ Room Sizes & Amenities - Strict minimum room sizes, shared facilities standards, and amenity space (e.g. bins, bike storage) are often hard to comply with.

❌ Article 4 Direction - Many councils use Article 4 to remove permitted development rights for HMOs. This means any HMO — even a C3 to C4 conversion — requires full planning, and most sui generis applications are treated even more harshly.

❌ Lack of Supporting Evidence - full planning applications require more reports, such as traffic or noise assessments, a solid planning statement. Applications often get refused on technical grounds.

But an LDC avoids almost all of this. It’s a legal confirmation that your HMO use for additional occupants/bedrooms is permitted under planning law — you DON’T need to comply with the long list above AND not subject to public consultation or policy interpretation.

With an approved sui generis LDC:

• You can legally increase occupancy, generating £1,000s in extra monthly rent

• You can unlock £100,000s in unrealised equity, as lenders revalue higher income properties with sui generis LDC use confirmed.

Important:

Most planning authorities will refuse LDC applications if not submitted correctly. You need to know the exact process on how to complete the application and, more importantly, the critical supporting evidence to submit, that is all oulined in this Toolkit.
