Plans submitted for a HMO with a live-in priest that bans premarital sex

RESIDENTS WILL BE ASKED TO PLACE THE HOUSE 'AHEAD OF OTHER PARTS OF YOUR LIFE'

- By ANDREW SPENCE

PLANS have been submitted to East Riding Council for a new HMO, the residents of which will enter into a strict covenant as to how life in the house looks.

Members will be told that house commitments come “ahead of other parts of your life.”

The plans relate to a property on Trinity Road, Bridlington which is currently a guest house.

On the surface the submitted application, which seeks permission for the change of use of the property from guest house to HMO, seems like a routine planning application.

However, it is the words “for Ecclesiastic community use” that piques interest.

Within the design and access statement submitted to the council, is a “covenant” that explains how this is “different to a regular house-share.”
