Planning committee

Decided by South Gloucestershire Development Management Committee on 5 Mar 2026.

Refused

No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.

  • The town council and local residents said seven HMOs with 33 bedrooms would be overdevelopment, add to an already high concentration of HMOs, and create parking and highway safety problems.
  • The agent said the scheme would deliver needed housing on a derelict site, with sufficient on-street parking and no harmful clustering of HMOs.
  • The committee refused planning permission because of HMO overconcentration, poor residential amenity from insufficient private amenity space, and a lack of off-street parking.
