Change of use from residential dwelling (Use class C3) to House in Multiple Occupation (Use class C4) and creation of new access and hardstanding.
Our Response
BPT does not object to the material changes proposed to this suburban property. However, we would like to strongly emphasise that the close, pedestrian proximity of facilities such as Twerton Infants School and St Michael’s Junior Church School make this an attractive and appropriate property for families. A change of use to a HMO would not serve the local demand for housing in this area and would result in the loss of suitable family accommodation. Approval of this application would maintain an undesirable precedent and should therefore be resisted.
