Change of use from an existing single-family dwellinghouse (Use Class C4) to a 4-bed, 4-person HMO (Use Class C4) and all other associated works.
The proposed development if considered to have separate kitchen facilities and a lounge / dining room by reason of the insufficient size of the lounge / living area would lead to an unacceptable quality of accommodation for prospective occupiers. If just considered to have just a kitchen area with ancillary area, then rooms 1 and 4 would fail to comply with minimum room sizes, providing an unacceptable living environment for prospective occupiers. In addition, the proposal fails to provide adequate bathroom facilities. Accordingly, in either case, the development would be contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan, Policy H5 and DH1 of the Royal Greenwich Local Plan: Core Strategy with Detailed Policies (2014), the Urban Design Guide (2023) and the RBG Standard for Houses in Multiple Occupation (2019).
