    Brief

    Luton Borough Council is seeking qualified organisations to undertake work to support the establishment of an Article 4 Direction across Luton. This direction will remove permitted development rights that currently allow property owners to convert dwellinghouses (standard residential properties, classified as C3) into small Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs, classified as C4) without planning permission. The successful supplier will be responsible for gathering evidence, conducting analysis, and preparing documentation to support the Council's decision-making process for implementing this planning control. This is an opportunity for consultancies and specialist organisations with expertise in planning policy, housing data analysis, and the preparation of planning guidance to demonstrate their capability in this important housing management initiative.
