Planning committee
Decided by Durham Area Planning Committee (Central and East) on 12 May 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the extension would not add bedrooms and a four-person occupancy condition would protect amenity.
- The parish council, a trust and a nearby resident objected over HMO policy, space, amenity, storage and fire safety.
- Members approved the application subject to the report’s conditions after the approval motion was carried.
