Application progress
Refused on 7 Aug 2026 · Committee Decision · Last checked 10 Aug 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Sutton Planning Committee on 5 Aug 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the HMO was acceptable in principle, would not harm neighbours, and included parking and cycle measures.
- Residents and the ward councillor raised concerns about parking, noise, anti-social behaviour, maintenance, safety and the intensity of the use.
- The committee unanimously rejected approval and agreed to refuse permission because parking mitigation was inadequate and residential amenity would be harmed.
