Planning committee
Decided by Brighton and Hove Planning Committee on 6 May 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved unanimously
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the four-person HMO would provide acceptable accommodation without unacceptable effects on neighbours or highways.
- Seven representations objected, citing noise, disturbance, privacy, rubbish, parking, security and effects on living conditions.
- The committee agreed the officer recommendation unanimously.
