 Change of use from dwellinghouse (Use Class C3) to a large House in Multiple Occupation (Sui Generis). |

The proposal indicates that 7 bedrooms will be provided. Two of these are very narrow, and if the intention is student accommodation, certainly too small. This might be an acceptable project if the number of bedrooms were to be reduced to 5. However there is considerable local objection on a variety grounds, including noise, parking etc. Comments were made regarding a covenant on this, and all the neighbouring properties, stipulating use as a single family dwelling.
