Licence condition works are the jobs a council asks for before or after granting an HMO licence: things like extra detection, fire doors, a second bathroom, kitchen changes or repairs. In High Peak, a town of around 95,000 people in Derbyshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.
