Summary
The applicant proposes changing the existing shared house to accommodate seven people in seven bedrooms. No building work is described.
The property is a mid-terrace house built between 1900 and 1929. The nearest school is a couple of minutes' walk away.
One extra resident could mean slightly more noise, bins and demand for street parking. The council would assess whether the house can support seven people without harming neighbours' quality of life.
The council's wording below is the official record. This summary was made automatically from the council's notice.
