HMO plan in 'narrow street' is approved

PLANS for an HMO conversion in a “very narrow” street have been approved amid warnings the neighbourhood is “already highly congested” with parked cars.

- 

Caerphilly County Borough Council's planning committee agreed, by majority vote, to allow 17 Cross Street, Bargoed, to be converted into an HMO for up to four people.

The property is currently a three-bedroom house.

In this case, under applicant Cemil Guzel’s plans, one extra bedroom would be created on the ground floor of the Cross Street home, and a first floor toilet would be removed to enlarge one of the upstairs bedrooms.
