No, not for each individual set but for the household. There are
complications with multi occupancy of say a block of flats (each household
within the block must have their own license) or a students university
(Freshman's ?) hall of residence (each residential room OR communal room
must have a licence) but generally it is 1 license per house. 'Granny
flats' can be another hiccup but you can normally cheat your way round
those.
