There are plans to convert a three-bedroomed property in Newport into a House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) with the aim of providing affordable residential accommodation.
The proposal makes no external changes to the property other than maintenance and upkeep. Minor internal renovation work and the alteration of bathroom layouts will allow the property to meet the standards required for HMO licensing.
Plans for 35 Chapel Street, Newport say this property would be an idea location for an HMO, providing affordable residential accommodation within the centre of the town.
Will meet HMO guidelines
The paperwork explains that all rooms will meet the requirements for HMO guidelines issued by the local authority including bathroom/shower room facilities, shared communal space along with the necessary fire separation between rooms and for the stairwell.
