Plans to turn a property in Ryde into a 7-bedroom House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) have gained qualified support from Ryde Town Council, despite concerns from a resident over parking, noise and the loss of a family home.
Mr and Miss Jerram are seeking permission for a change of use at 1 Butts Road in Haylands.
Ryde Town Council has told the Isle of Wight Council that it does not object to the application, subject to a parking provision assessment being carried out which supports the additional parking required.
The applicants’ agent, Holbrook Architectural Services, has previously said the proposal is not considered to result in ‘unacceptable harm’ to the character of the area, neighbouring amenity or highway safety.
It said the property would provide shared residential accommodation with communal facilities appropriate to the scale of occupation.
However, the proposals have attracted an objection from a member of the public, David Kelly, who has called for the application to be refused.
He has raised concerns about the loss of a family dwelling, increased occupation compared with a single household, the potential impact on neighbouring residents, additional parking pressure and cumulative changes to the character of the neighbourhood.
Mr Kelly said:
“A property occupied by multiple unrelated individuals generally creates more comings and goings, more visitor movements, more use of shared areas, and more scope for late-night disturbance than a single family home.
“This intensification is likely to increase noise, nuisance, and general disturbance for nearby residents.”
The Isle of Wight Council’s public consultation on the application is due to run until 7th September.
A decision on the proposals is currently due by 30th September.
HMO’s are a bad bad idea, they cause nothing but trouble where ever they spring up. More noise, more rubbish, more trouble full stop. NO!!
The most effective way to reduce the waiting list to
house persons.
More HMO’S are needed on the island.
Idiot, hope they try and put one near you then.
Would never happen where I am positioned
Lol
Full of ethnics no doubt with the low life values that they bring to the community.
I fully agree with Mr Kelly’s concerns. It is a dramatic change, the thought, living near it must be awful, a massive change for the worse.
I wonder who will be homed there? That adds more than worry. Unlikely to be island people needing a roof, who will be moving in.
I could be very wrong, I’ve only become aware that HMO is an actual thing. Were they not called flats before ? Or am I miles off target.
I digress and could be wrong again, I assume its probable that the ‘tenants’ are on benefits, that was the best for flat owners, maxing out the price. Probably Thatcher ruined that for them?
So if on benefits, should they have a car, costs a small fortune having a car now, having a taxed and insured car parked in the road, without moving it, £2 £3 £4 a day, easily. Drive the car, faint at the price of fuel (open the oil fields, stupid government , f*** just stop oil,
And make the country some money and reduce energy cost!!!)
My point parking will not be an issue…
No, they are not flats – they are tenanted rooms. Kitchen and bathroom have to be shared. It’s a disgusting way to have to live, but it will be the norm soon.
Thanks, I did wonder that myself a lot later, and thought that was the case. Good you confirmed it, politely too. Take care
I bet it has money in their pockets..
