A bid to turn a family home in Copnor into a large house in multiple occupation is to be considered by councillors.

- by Toby Paine

An application has been made to convert a home at 261 Powerscourt Road, a mid-terrace house, into an eight-person, seven-bedroom house of multiple occupation (HMO).

The proposal has received 13 objections, triggering a discussion and decision to be made by Portsmouth City Council's planning committee on Wednesday.

Concerns have been raised about parking, noise, waste, antisocial behaviour and the loss of a family home.
