HMOs Under New Planning Rules | Leicester News
Description
Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is cracking down on unchecked HMO growth in Barwell and Earl Shilton, requiring planning permission for converting family homes into shared living spaces—marking a major shift from the past.

Already tested in parts of Hinckley town center, the council’s proactive approach could expand to other areas if trends continue, signaling a strategic push for balanced, controlled urban development.
