HMO Rules Tightened in Barwell and Earl Shilton

Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is rolling out stricter rules for HMOs in Barwell and Earl Shilton, requiring planning permission for new developments instead of the current “set-up without approval” system. This follows a similar move in Hinckley and aims to give the council more control over where HMOs go, review their neighborhood impact, and promote a better housing mix — even though HMOs serve diverse groups, including first-time buyers and those needing alternative housing. The consultation ends July 3rd, inviting community input on whether tighter controls are the right path forward. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
