An application has been received by Gedling Borough Council from Mr Michael Johal of 47 Acton Road, Arnold for a proposed two storey side and rear extension development of 47 Acton Road, Arnold, NG5 7AB including a change of use application for a 12 bedroom House of Multiple Occupation (HMO).
The application describes the proposed works as ‘Two storey side and rear extension; change of use from C4 to Sui Generis (12 bed HMO).’
Class C4 (houses in multiple occupation) relates to small shared houses occupied by between three and six unrelated individuals, as their only or main residence, who share basic amenities such as a kitchen or bathroom however the change of use aspect of this application, if successful, will allow the property, once developed to be used as a 12 bedroom HMO.
Proposed plans outline five bedrooms to the ground floor alongside a kitchen and dining area, 1 no. living area, 1 no. WC, 1 no. bathroom with shower and 1 no. shower room.
The first floor plans outline seven bedrooms alongside 1 no. WC, 2 no. bathroom with shower and 1 no. shower room.
The proposed plans allow for two parking spaces.

Do not fear…It’s in Arnold…it’ll never get passed!
I wouldn’t be too sure. The government and local councils will be all over stuff like this to house illegal immigrants cheaply.
Our quality of life, safety and living standards means nothing to them.
It’s a ridiculous number of bedrooms. It would be laughable if not a serious proposal.
It is difficult enough for parking as it is currently. What will it be like with 12 possible extra vehicles and not two allocated spaces on plan?
A ridiculous proposal for a narrow road and location.
