Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in the Netherfield Ward PDF 458 KB Report of the Head of Development and Place Additional documents:
Minutes: The Head of Development and Place introduced the report, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, to inform Members of the suitability of implementing an Article 4 direction to introduce a requirement for planning permission to change from a C3 Dwelling house (family dwelling) to a C4 HMO (3-6 unrelated people who share facilities) in the Netherfield Ward.
Cllr Payne proposed an amended motion, seconded by Cllr Hollingsworth as follows;
1. Share residents’ concerns about a potential increase in the number of HMOs in the Netherfield Ward, notes actions already taken by the council to implement HMO licensing across the borough and introduce selective licensing in Netherfield in October 2018
2. Endorses the Leader of the Council writing to government calling for a reversal of legislations introduced in October 2010 which removed the requirement for planning permission for HMOs and opened up the risk of proliferation of HMOs without adequate input from local communities
3. Requests officers to report back to Cabinet within six months with a further update to allow cabinet to further consider and determine if there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate an article 4 direction and/or other measures necessary to protect local amenity or the well-being of the Netherfield ward.
