Planning strategy, fire safety, licensing coordination and layout for houses in multiple occupation, for landlords and investors.
The studio prepares planning strategies, layouts and technical designs for houses in multiple occupation, for landlords and investors.
Layouts are designed to exceed minimum standards for room size, daylight and shared space, because well-proportioned accommodation is more likely to be approved, licensed and occupied. Fire safety is integral to the plan rather than added to it.
Small HMOs may fall within permitted development unless an Article 4 direction applies; large HMOs require planning permission. Licensing, fire safety and Building Regulations are coordinated alongside planning.
The studio manages the planning application, technical design and coordination with licensing requirements through to completion.
