Work with Our Planning Consultants
Pre-Planning Advice you require will need to be conducted by a planning officer, on the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). You will need to understand whether the local planning authority are applying any constraints on your property (e.g. section 106, article 4 direction, potential neighbouring objections). The planner will then search for any evidence that could support your application or that could see it rejected (e.g. planning history of proposals in the area and planning policies.).
All our reports are customised and provide advice in response to our clients’ brief, site and council policies. You gain advice on whether your proposed development will require planning permission, guidance on the formal planning application, validation stage paperwork requirements of the local planning authorities, advice on an unaccompanied site visit or statutory consultees, further information about the community engagement, the formal pre-application enquiries to local councils.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][us_separator size=”large”][vc_row_inner columns=”2-3″ columns_gap=”3.5vw” content_placement=”middle” columns_reverse=”1″][vc_column_inner width=”2/5″][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22max-width%22%3A%22500px%22%7D%7D”]

client instructed Homz to provide feasibility on their property for the pre-application stage of a Change of Use from C3 (Dwellinghouse) to C4 (HMO) in the London Borough of Brent. Our Senior Town Planner has conducted pre-application advice research within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to understand whether the local planning authority is applying any constraints on your property.
Changes of use from single dwellings to HMOs up to 6 beds, can often be conducted under Permitted Development however throughout Brent, the planning department has implemented Article 4 directions which means that any proposed change of use from the form of a dwelling to the form of an HMO requires planning consent.
While planning approval will be required, we do believe that the applicant for the site location should benefit from a reasonable – strong likelihood of success in terms of securing the necessary planning consent.

As per the council’s public planning database, the surrounding area has a positive planning history regarding planning applications related to extension and alteration works including loft conversions. This should facilitate a strong precedent for development, further promoting the feasibility and overall likelihood of success. This includes applications for HMOs in the area which have also secured planning approval.
After the pre application advice meeting, our Architects and Town Planners prepared the supporting documents Architectural Plans, and Planning Statements. Please see the plans for this project in our Portfolio. Our team has successfully submitted and managed the planning application with the council. Following the waiting period of the decision, Homz has scored another successful Approval for submitting this planning application on behalf of our client.
