The three-storey, detached Victorian house on Glebelands Road was turned into a 10-bed HMO after plans were approved in 2018.
However, new plans are asking the authority to reverse the conversion and bring the home back into use for families.
Planning papers say the application would turn bedrooms back into family rooms, including living areas, by removing partition walls.
The applicants say en-suite bedrooms installed across the house would also be removed as they look to return the property to its “primary function”.
The application said: “The property is well suited to the proposed new use as a house in terms of both scale and building layout – it was originally designed as a large family house.
“It seems appropriate to return it to its primary function. All that’s required is the removal of some internal non-structural partitions in order to make some rooms larger.
“Mainly the removal of en-suites that were added to the HMO rooms.
“The proposal is to return to the historic Victorian large detached family house with six bedrooms and five bathrooms, a large family kitchen-dining area and utility room, and two living rooms,
“The three bedrooms on the first floor will all have their own en-suites, the three smaller rooms on the second floor will have a shared bathroom on the same level.
“There are various storage rooms positioned around the house and a basement that will be also be used for storage.
“At present, there is a car park at the rear that is accessed from a side road fed from Glebelands Road.
“Our proposal is to maintain this arrangement as existing – access to the car park for the apartments on the corner will be maintained unchanged.”
It comes as the council looks to bring in stricter restrictions on applications for new HMO shared housing applications.
A consultation will be launched this month on restrictions limiting the amount of HMOs within a 100-metre radius, and banning HMOs either sandwiching family homes or existing as a row of three on the same street.
The authority may also introduce an Article 4 directive, which would remove permitted development rights and mean even small HMO applications would require full planning permission to be converted.
The council said this week these are “necessary measures” amid growing concerns about the number of new HMO plans.
However, the reversal of the HMO conversion marks the first time in several months that the authority will debate plans to turn a shared housing property back into family housing.
The application will be reviewed at a later date.
