ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner wants to turn this house into a shared home for five people. The rear conservatory would be knocked down and the rear extension altered. New bike and bin storage would be added to the front and rear gardens.

The property is in a residential street. Three primary schools are within a couple of minutes' walk. The A4088, a busy main road, carries around 15,000 vehicles a day close by. Ten bus stops are within a five-minute walk.

Shared houses typically have more people coming and going than a family home. Neighbours on either side — just over ten metres away — could notice more noise and activity, particularly in the rear garden.

What the council wrote

Change of use from single dwellinghouse to 5x bed, 5x person HMO with demolition of existing rear conservatory and proposed alterations to single storey rear extension, landscaping to front and rear garden and bike and refuse storage spaces.
