Planning granted to change the use of a property from C3 to C4 in Enfield

We are pleased that, through constructive dialogue and collaboration with Enfield Council, we have successfully secured planning permission for the change of use from Use Class C3 (dwelling house) to Use Class C4 (House in Multiple Occupation) this achievement reflects out team’s in depth understanding of local planning policy, our ability to navigate complex planning frameworks, and our commitment to delivering positive outcomes for our clients

Throughout the application process, we worked closely with planning officers to address key considerations such as amenity standards, parking provision, waste management, and impact on the local housing mix. By engaging proactively with the council and providing clear, evidence based justifications, we were able to demonstrate that the proposed change of use would meet both local and national planning objectives. The result is a well balanced approval that supports the area’s housing needs while maintaining the character and quality of the existing neighbourhood

This permission offers significant benefits to property owners and investors. Converting a dwelling to an HMO can increase rental yield, diversify income streams, and make more efficient use of existing housing stock. It also supports the growing demand for high quality shared accommodation, particularly in areas with strong employment and education opportunities. Our involvement ensured that the application was not only compliant but strategically positioned for long term value and sustainability
