Councillor Marlow-Eastwood left the Chamber during debate and voting on this item.The Principal Planning Officer, Ms Prior, presented the planning application for Change of use from Care Home (C2) to a large House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) (Sui Generis).
The Principal Planning Officer informed the Committee that the proposed HMO would consist of 11 bedrooms. All the proposed works are internal and there is plenty of external space for car parking. She explained that there had been concern regarding intensification of HMO’s in the area and that within a 100m buffer zone 2% of properties were HMO’s.

In response the Principal Planning Officer informed the Committee that the conditions do call for secure and covered cycle storage facilities to be provided and limit the total occupancy to no more than 15 residents. In addition the applicants HMO licence will be monitored by the Housing Department.
