Planning committee
Decided by Bridgend Development Control Committee on 19 Mar 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the HMO met policy requirements and would not significantly harm neighbours, highway safety or biodiversity.
- Councillors, the town council, neighbours and a community petition raised concerns about HMOs, parking, amenity, noise, waste and safety.
- The committee voted five to four to grant permission, subject to the officer’s conditions and amendment-sheet changes.
