HMO Rules Set to Change in Leicestershire Towns
from Leicester News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Two towns in Leicestershire, Earl Shilton and Barwell, could soon face new rules requiring planning permission for turning homes into HMOs — a move sparked by frustration over uncontrolled growth of these properties. Council leader Stuart Bray says the borough has seen too many HMOs pop up without oversight, and while these aren’t just for asylum seekers — they’re vital for housing affordability — the proposed Article 4 Direction would cover town centers and surrounding areas. Fourteen suspected HMOs are already in Earl Shilton, sixteen in Barwell. Residents can weigh in until July 2nd. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
