Great news for Granville Road! A property has received HMO permission to house five residents, ensuring more affordable living options.
Watford: A two-storey house on Granville Road just got the green light to become a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). It’s now set to accommodate five people instead of the usual four bedrooms.
Back in October 2024, it came to light that the owners had made changes without the proper planning permission. So, they had to submit a new application to sort things out.
Now that the layout has been approved, everything can continue without any legal hiccups. The applicant mentioned that this conversion would help meet the diverse housing needs in Watford.
They also pointed out that it would provide more affordable living options while ensuring there’s enough family-sized housing available.
This four-bedroom house has a lounge, a shared kitchen, and a bedroom on the ground floor, plus three more bedrooms upstairs. It’s a cozy setup!
Retrospective planning applications like this one are pretty common when property owners need to catch up on permissions for work they’ve already done.
