Two flats in Colwick could be converted into a HMO for seven people, new plans show.

Applicant P G Keane Properties Ltd has requested a change of use at 34 Balmoral Road from a two self-contained flats to a seven-bed HMO ( sui generis) and also permission to erect a rear dormer and installation of two rooflights

Internally the layout would comprise of a communal kitchen and dining room and two bedrooms on the ground floor, three bedrooms on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. There would be seven shower rooms, six of which would be en-suite.

HMOs (houses in multiple occupation) are typically properties in which single, unrelated adults have their own bedrooms but share other communal facilities such as bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms.

In the planning statement says that the proposal to convert the property to a HMO would ‘only result in a small increase in the number of persons living in the property’.

It says: “whilst seven individuals may create more activity and more comings and goings than six persons sharing two flats this is unlikely to have a significant impact on neighbouring residents given the size of the property and of the plot.

“Parking is not an issue on Balmoral Road with plenty of on-street parking available.”

The applicant added: “There is a shortage of similar accommodation within the area and the proposal would therefore contribute to a mix of housing type and size.”

The application is currently out for consultation, and can be viewed on the Gedling Borough Council website.
