Residents back council proposals on HMO's
Overwhelming public support has been received by Bath & North East Somerset Council in response to its first formal consultation on measures to better control the growth of Houses in Multiple Occupation in Bath.
Over 200 letters of support from local residents, mainly in the wards of Westmoreland, Oldfield Park and Widcombe have been received by the Council urging them to proceed with work to bring in additional controls over HMOs in the City by implementing the Article 4 Direction next year and to bring in new licencing requirements for small HMO properties.
Key concerns raised by local residents about HMOs included:
* Impact of large numbers of HMOs on mixed communities;
* Litter and waste management;
* Noise and anti-social behaviour;
* Unkempt gardens and properties in poor upkeep;
* On street parking pressures;
* Families being priced out by “buy to let” market.
The Council intends to introduce planning restrictions which will see planning permission required for future changes of use from family houses into small HMOs across the City from 1st July 2013. It is also proposing that HMO landlords in areas with a large number of HMOs should be required to apply for a licence to help curb management and housing quality issues.
Next steps
Public consultation on the detail of the additional HMO licencing scheme is due to be released in September 2012 for public consultation.
The detail of the planning controls are due to be considered by Cabinet in October and launched for public consultation in October.
A series of briefings and drop-in events open to the public on these HMO controls are planned for October 2012.

The Brickfields
I have asked the council to arrange to send a team up to not only clear up the increasing litter shrewn down the footpath in this area, but to clear the brambles, weeds and other overgrown vegetation that is taking over the footpath.

King Georges Road Parking
I have asked Curo (somer) to mark the parking bays in this area as residents parking only.
I have received many complaints over the past twelve months of people who do not live in the area parking up for the day and this is removing the spaces that were reserved for residents when the estate was remodelled over 10 years ago.
