Currently a single dwelling can be converted into an HMO for between three and six people without the need for planning permission
Senior councillors have approved a proposed crackdown on moves to turn family houses into bedsits in nine wards.
An HMO is a property shared by at least three people not of the same family with shared facilities. .Under the proposals put forward by the council – known as an Article 4 direction – anyone wanting to do that would have to submit a planning application as is the case with larger HMOs. The report said an concentrations of bedsit houses could cause problems including anti-social behaviour, noise and nuisance and pressures upon parking .
“In these wards there is evidence of concentrations of HMOs and student dwellings and this is having a detrimental effect in relation to amenity, character and well-being of the areas. These areas also suffer from relatively high levels of crime and environmental complaints.”
