Planning committee
Decided by Sedgemoor North on 9 Jun 2026.
Approved by 6 votes to 4
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
- Councillors worried that two more occupants would add to overspill parking and change the character of the area through incremental HMO growth.
- Officers said all bedrooms had natural light and adequate space, no external changes were proposed, and each HMO application had to be judged on its own merits.
- The committee voted 6 to 4 to approve the change of use.
