Council planning record

We are submitting a planning application for the change of use from a small House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) to an 8-person Large HMO classified as Sui Generis. This proposed alteration involves reconfiguring the existing space to accommodate eight individuals, ensuring adequate sleeping areas, communal spaces, and necessary facilities. Our plan includes adhering to stringent fire safety regulations, making structural adjustments as required, and willing to ensuring compliance with all licensing and HMO regulations. This transition is carefully designed to meet the increased demand for housing in alignment with local regulations, while maintaining the property's integrity and providing a safe and suitable living environment for future occupants.
