Article 4 Direction for Houses in Multiple Occupation To consider a report on the above. Additional documents:
Minutes: The Group considered a report which sought to agree whether to progress an Article 4 Direction which would remove permitted development rights from properties which allow change of use from Use Class C3 Dwelling to C4 House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) (for between 3-6 persons) across Torbay.
The Policy Development and Decision Group (Joint Operations Team) made the following recommendations to the Mayor:
(i) that Spatial Planning and Community Services undertake to investigate any further potential to align Housing Licensing and Development Management processes to ensure that full opportunity for early intervention regarding breaches of existing planning and/or licensing requirements with regards to HMOs is undertaken; and
(ii) that Spatial Planning prepares a report and further develops a case for Council to make a decision on whether to prepare an Article 4 Direction which would have the effect of removing permitted development rights to change dwellings to small houses in multiple occupation (Class C3 Dwellings to C4 Small Houses of Multiple Occupation), without the need for express planning permission. That 6 months notice is given prior to the Article 4 Direction taking effect.
The Mayor considered the recommendations of the Policy Development and Decision Group (Joint Operations Team) set out above at the meeting and his decision, together with further information is attached to these Minutes. |
