Minutes:

The Head of Development and Place introduced a report, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, informing Members of the suitability of implementing an Article 4 direction to introduce a requirement for planning permission to change from a C3 Dwellinghouse (family dwelling) to a C4 HMO (3-6 unrelated people who share facilities) in the Netherfield Ward.

 

RESOLVED to:

 

1)    Agree that there is currently insufficient evidence to demonstrate that an Article 4 direction or any other measure is necessary to protect local amenity or the well-being of the Netherfield Ward; and

 

2)    Monitor the overall number of HMOs in the Netherfield Ward.
