7 Houses in Multiple Occupation

Throughout the District, the conversion of existing houses into multiple occupation use will be encouraged as long as proposals are acceptable on environmental, traffic and parking grounds. The conversion of houses in multiple occupation to self contained flats will not normally be permitted unless:

  • existing living conditions are unsatisfactory and cannot easily be improved; or
  • the existing use causes environmental, traffic or parking problems.
