Decision details

            BR/243/19/PL – Change of use of house in multiple occupation to form 2 No. self-contained flats with a rear extension to form bathrooms at ground and fist floors, and a single storey pitch roof and side extension to form a studio flat, 130 Longford Road, Bognor Regis

            In presenting this report, the Principal Planner emphasised that this scheme was a reduction from a 5 unit scheme to a 3 unit scheme with a resultant reduction in bed spaces.  The change from a HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) was generally supported, although some concerns were raised with regard to the lack of parking in the immediate vicinity.  The Group Head of Planning confirmed that this was probably the most sustainable location in the District where a shortage of parking spaces within the development should be a necessity.

            Having considered the matter, the Committee

RESOLVED

That the application be approved as detailed in the report.

            The Chairman then called a half hour adjournment to the meeting.
