Minutes:
The Assistant Director of Development introduced a report which had been circulated prior to the meeting, to inform Members of the number of HMOs within the Borough and provide a recommendation regarding the suitability of implementing an Article 4 direction to remove permitted development rights in order to introduce a requirement for planning permission to change from a Use Class C3 Dwellinghouse (dwelling) to a Use Class C4 HMO (3-6 unrelated people who share facilities) within any particular ward.
RESOLVED To:
1) Agree that there is currently sufficient evidence to demonstrate that an Article 4 direction is necessary to protect local amenity or the well-being of Chandos Street, Ashwell Street and Beech Avenue within Netherfield Ward and approve the making of the direction that will be referred back to Cabinet for confirmation 12 months after it is made.
2) Note the total number of HMOs within the Borough.
3) 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 entirety of any ward or wider area within the Borough.
4) Agree that the overall number of HMOs within the Borough should be monitored.
