Official description

Retrospective change of use from a C3 dwelling house to a C4 small house in Multiple Occupation. The property is occupied by 4 unrelated sharers under a single tenancy agreement and remains as one self- contained dwelling house. The property has not been subdivided into flats and no external alterations are proposed. The proposal is deliberately limited to four unrelated occupants.The property will operate as a small C4 HMO and will not operate as a large HMO.There will be no subdivision into separate self-contained flats or independent residential units.The occupants will share the existing kitchen, communal accommodation and sanitary facilities. The proposal therefore represents a limited intensification of the existing residential use rather than the creation of multiple independent dwellings.No additional residential floorspace is proposed.There will be no separate arrangements that alter the physical character of the property into multiple self-contained dwellings. The property will remain as one self contained dwelling house. Communal areas will not be converted into additional bedrooms or independent accommodation without any required planning permission.The only proposed physical provision is secure cycle storage within the site.Appropriate refuse and recycling storage will be provided within the site.Occupants will be encouraged to use the designated facility rather than storing bicycles on the public pavement or in locations that obstruct access.No additional car parking is proposed. Occupants will be informed of Haringey Council’s waste collection arrangements.The applicant confirms that the proposed use is deliberately limited to four occupants. An additional HMO licence has been granted by Haringey council for 1 year.
