Purpose:

Content: Resolved that full Planning Permission for change of use from existing single-family dwellinghouse (Use Class C3) to a 5-bed, 5-person HMO (Use Class C4), and all other associated alterations be refused.   That refusal of planning consent was on the following basis – ·      The proposed HMO arrangement results in an unsatisfactorily layout for Room 4 and Room 5 (parent and child) in that it fails to properly protect the amenity and safety of the residents of these two rooms, especially the child (under 10). Furthermore these two rooms only have access to a shared first floor bathroom and it is not considered to provide safe and satisfactory amenities for occupiers.
