  5. REASON FOR APPROVAL This application is satisfactory in that the conversion of the dwelling into a HMO accord with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the local policy requirements (Policy DC1, CS4, CS5, CS17, CS18, CS19, H1 and H11 and the interim Conversion Policy of the Council's Local Development Framework). Where appropriate, the Council has worked with the applicant in a positive and proactive way in line with the guidance within the NPPF (2025). In particular, the proposed change of use to a HMO will not prejudice the character and function of the area and does not significantly affect any landscaping or prevent adequate and safe access to the site. The residential use will be consistent with the mixed uses of this location, and it will not be detrimental to any adjoining or surrounding properties. The traffic generated, car parking and noise associated with the residential use will not be of a level likely to result in an unacceptable impact on nearby premises. The application is therefore considered to be an acceptable form of development, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there are no material considerations which would indicate that the development should be refused.
  6. Building Regulations Compliance with Building Regulations will be required. Before commencing works it is recommended that discussions take place with the Building Control section of this Council. You can contact Building Control on 01642 729375 or by email at buildingcontrol@middlesbrough.gov.uk. Where a building regulations approval is obtained which differs from your planning permission, you should discuss this matter with the Local Planning Authority to determine if the changes require further consent under planning legislation.
  7. Secure By Design The development should be completed in accordance with the Secure By Design principles set out at www.securedbydesign.com. In addition, all external and Individual room doors and ground floor and readily accessible windows should be to tested and certified PAS24:2022+A1:2024 standards (or equivalent), doors and windows are to be dually certified for fire and security, appropriate external dusk dawn lighting on each elevation of an external door-set are recommended and CCTV internally covering entrances and communal circulation areas.
