Planning committee
Decided by West Northamptonshire Non-Strategic Planning Committee on 2 Apr 2026.
Refused by 11 votes to 0
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised refusal because ten occupants would intensify the HMO and the roof extension would harm neighbours and local character.
- Residents and consultees raised concerns about intensification, noise, parking, waste, amenity and the extension’s appearance.
- The committee voted unanimously to refuse the application in accordance with the case officer’s recommendation.
