Planning in Barnet
Checked October 2026. Planning policy changes, so we confirm the position for your address before you commit.
The Barnet Local Plan 2021 to 2036 was found sound, subject to main modifications, in the inspectors' report dated 6 November 2024.
SourceThe Local Plan's HMO policy, as modified, treats a concentration of HMOs as harmful where three or more of the ten nearest properties are already HMOs, and protects existing HMOs of a reasonable standard unless there is no local need.
SourceAs modified, the plan expects all housing schemes to include family-sized homes, which matters when converting or redeveloping a larger house.
SourceBarnet has an Article 4 direction on small houses in multiple occupation, recorded with a start date of 29 May 2016, so turning a house into a small HMO where it applies needs planning permission.
