Refused on 11 Sept 2026 · Committee (Speakers Panel) Decision · Last checked 12 Sept 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Tameside Speakers Panel (Planning) on 9 Sept 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the three-person HMO would provide acceptable accommodation without significant amenity or highway harm.
- Objectors raised concerns about overdevelopment, noise, parking, waste, amenity and the concentration of HMOs.
- Members refused the application because cumulative comings and goings, visitors and deliveries would harm neighbouring amenity.
