Tag: houses in multiple occupation

Bedford Borough Council is holding a consultation on planning guidance setting out how ‘houses in multiple occupation’ (HMOs) or ‘shared houses’ can develop in Bedford Borough.

HMOs are an important part of the housing mix and can provide much-needed, low-cost accommodation.

The Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) under consultation aims to encourage balanced communities by providing guidance on applications to convert, use or develop properties as HMOs.
