Planning committee
Decided by Guildford Planning Committee on 1 Apr 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the HMO would not harm housing balance, character, living conditions, neighbours or highways, with mitigation secured.
- Members considered the bin store condition, HMO concentration and whether additional fees could be charged for retrospective applications.
- The committee carried the motion and delegated permission subject to a S106 agreement securing SPA mitigation contributions.
