Use classes order for HMO properties

The Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 categorises the use of land and buildings as “Use Classes”

It is usually the case that you will need planning permission to change from one class use to another.

Class C3 (dwellings): Single Household

Used as a dwelling by:

  • A single person or people regarded as forming a single household
  • Not more than six residents living together as a single household where care is provided for residents
  • Not more than six residents living together as a single household where no care is provided to residents (other than a use within C4).

Class 4 Houses in Multiple Occupation

Use of a dwelling by no more than six residents as a “house in multiple occupation”.

(Class C4 does not include a block of flats that has been converted, which Section 257 of the Housing Act 2004 applies.)

I just wanted you to know that the experience with Charelston has been utterly professional and competent in every aspect of this transaction. The solicitor I instructed was not good at all and I would have walked away from this deal a long time ago had Andrew not consistently calmed me down and gone the extra mile to find solutions to any stumbling blocks that came up. I have been particularly impressed by his balance of never pestering but always remaining attentive and responsive when required. I was a director of a FTSE financial services firm for 12 year so know about the importance of customer service and the thing I notice most in the industry is how rare decent service actually is. Well done to you on employing, training and motivating staff of Andrew’s calibre, I would certainly use you again in the future.
