Thanks for posting this Hugh. You beat me to it. The official notice from Planning which councillors received the other day is below.

I know this has taken a long time to come to fruition as it takes a year from formal agreement and consultation to implement and it was discussed fora long time before that.  Nilgun chaired the council's internal HMO working party which I joined when I came on the Council. Nilgun and the councillors who were members of that group pressed really hard for the Article 4 and I am really pleased that this is now coming into place. The campaigning from local groups, and members of HoL was also very effective so thanks everyone.

94 Mattison Road was converted this summer into a care home with approved planning permission.  I'm not sure if this falls under the umbrella of HMO but is this type of conversion allowed on the ladder?
