Dear Sir/Madam

CIRCULAR 4/2004: HOUSES IN MULTIPLE OCCUPATION - GUIDANCE ON THE INTERFACE BETWEEN PLANNING CONTROL AND LICENSING

Please find enclosed SEDD Circular 4/2004: Houses in Multiple Occupation - Guidance on the Interface between Planning Control and Licensing.

The Circular has been issued to provide planning officials with brief background on the licensing scheme for houses in multiple occupation (HMO) and guidance on the implications for development plan policies on HMO. The description of the licensing scheme emphasises those aspects which will be of interest to planners.

This Circular should be read in conjunction with the Scottish Executive's guidance, "Mandatory Licensing of Houses in Multiple Occupation: Guidance for Licensing Authorities". Copies of the latter may be obtained by telephoning 0131 244 5528 or through the Scottish Executive web-site at www.scotland.gov.uk/hmo .

Yours faithfully

TIM BARRACLOUGH
