Planning committee
Decided by South Tyneside Planning Committee on 25 Aug 2026.
Refused unanimously
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
- Permission was sought to change the dwelling to a six-bed, six-person house in multiple occupation, with rooflights added.
- A councillor objected, citing overconcentration, cumulative impact and safety concerns for nearby vulnerable residents and an existing HMO next door.
- Members unanimously voted to refuse, citing harm to the area's character and amenity and an unacceptable cumulative impact from a neighbouring HMO.
