Two separate houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) would be turned back into family homes, bucking the trend where the opposite happens, under plans recently submitted.<\/p>\n
Each week Bristol City Council<\/a> receives dozens of planning applications seeking permission for a whole range of developments.<\/p>\n Over the past seven days, those applications also included pits to be dug at a listed arch to ensure an energy centre can be created nearby and replacement cladding at a 13-storey, glass-fronted block of flats near Temple Meads.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s this week\u2019s round-up of notable planning applications submitted to the council.<\/p>\n Every week dozens are validated by the local authority and we have selected some of the more interesting proposals.<\/p>\n All planning applications submitted to the council have to be validated and are available for inspection by the public.<\/p>\n Anyone is also allowed to submit comments about the applications \u2014 whether in support or objection.<\/p>\n The majority of applications are decided by planning officers at the council under delegated powers.<\/p>\n However, some will go before elected councillors who sit on planning committees.<\/p>\n No dates have been set for when the planning applications below will be determined.<\/p>\n They can be viewed by going to the planning portal<\/a> on Bristol City Council\u2019s website.<\/p>\n HMOs back to family homes<\/strong><\/p>\n An eight-bedroom house in multiple occupation in Redland would be converted back into a single family home<\/a>.<\/p>\n The property at Alexandra Park would be reconfigured internally and brought back to its original use.<\/p>\n The plans also involve repairing the windows and tidying up the outside.<\/p>\n The house has been used as bedsits since 1994.<\/p>\n In planning documents, the agents said: \u201cIt will return the host building to its original and intended use to the benefit of the area<\/p>\n \u201cThe development will have no negative effects on surrounding private amenity.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile a five-bedroom HMO in West Street, Bedminster<\/a>, would also be turned back into a family house<\/a>.<\/p>\n Planning agents said the two-storey end-of-terrace building on the junction of Bartlett Road would \u2018actually improve the character and appearance of the area, provide a suitably sized family dwelling and is therefore considered a positive step in terms of the density of accommodation locally\u2019.<\/p>\n
