Northampton landlords HMO controls

Apparently landlords in Northampton are raging against Northampton Borough Council who are trying to bring in restrictions in certain areas preventing landlords from creating more HMO properties without first obtaining planning permission.

The Council has an article 4 direction set to come into force on March 14 next years.

Are any other landlords experiencing these HMO restrictions introduced through the back door by local council initiatives.  It would be interesting to know.
