Petition Exclude HMOs from permitted development rights so residents have their say

We believe the Government must not let properties be converted to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) without planning permission, under permitted development rights, to allow residents within the area to have a say in the decision-making process.

More details

HMOs can have a significant impact on local communities, sometimes leading to increased noise, parking issues, and a decrease in the overall quality of life for local residents. By allowing local residents to have a say in the approval process, the government can ensure that the concerns and needs of the community are taken into consideration.
