Parking concerns lead to HMO plan for mid-terrace house being rejected
A plan for a house in multiple occupation in Brierley Hill has been thrown out by Dudley Council.
The application, for a mid-terrace house on Bank Street, was for a change of use from a four-bedroom dwelling to a six-bedroom house in multiple occupation (HMO).
If approved the house would have been converted to provide two bedrooms on the ground floor, two bedrooms on the first floor and a further two in the attic space plus a shared lounge and kitchen on the ground floor.
Applicants promised storage for bicycles in the garden but the lack of off-road parking for vehicles was a major concern for the council.
