Rejected petition: Stop Uncontrolled HMO Expansion in the Royal Borough of Greenwich
Rejected on
Introduce an Immediate Temporary Ban on New HMO Approvals in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
We call on the UK Government to support a temporary ban on all new HMO planning approvals in the Royal Borough of Greenwich until the next General Election. Residents are increasingly concerned about the uncontrolled growth of HMOs, particularly in areas such as Plumstead, where family homes are being lost, parking pressure is worsening, local services are strained, and community balance is being damaged by overdevelopment.
