Planning committee
Decided by Salford Planning and Transportation Regulatory Panel on 2 Jul 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the HMO would remain below the concentration threshold, provide suitable accommodation and have no unacceptable highway impact.
- Six objections raised concerns about HMO concentration, parking, disturbance, waste, community character and the timing of works.
- The application was granted, with conditions including secure cycle parking and a four-person occupancy limit.
