Extension for HMO near school -- all the latest Mansfield planning applications

The HMO (house in multiple occupation) is located at Littleworth, close to King Edward Primary and Nursery School.

It is currently licensed as a six-person home, but the application to Mansfield District Council, made by landlord and property developer Luigi Newton, of LN Capital Ltd, is to convert it into accommodation for seven people.

The plan is to turn an existing lounge on the ground floor into an extra bedroom. No alterations are proposed to the external appearance of the building.

A planning statement says: “Modifying the HMO to provide an additional bedroom would increase the availability of useful single-bedroomed accommodation in the town centre.”

The council’s planning officers are now considering the scheme and hope to make a decision or recommendation by early January.
