A SIX-BEDROOM home in east Reading that is close to the university could be formally converted into an HMO – a home of multiple occupation.
The owner of the property in College Road wants to adapt the home.
Last autumn, Reading Borough Council received a plan to convert the house into an eight-bed hotel, but this application, number 221541, was not determined by officers.
A design and access statement submitted with that application states that it has been successfully used as a six-person HMO for a number of years.
College Road is close to the University of Reading’s campus and is a popular area for students.
The proposal can be seen by searching Reading Borough Council’s planning website for application 230463.
