Comment:In reference to the previous planning refused application V/2025/0094 I cannot see how improvements to parking or communal areas have been omitted.
As mentioned in document - "Delegated Report - V20250094_100031241198_OFFCRLTR_25062025_Redacted" 

Section NCC Highways - "Highway Design Guide states that HMOs will be required to provide parking at a rate of 1 space per bedroom with 1 visitor space per 3 bedrooms unless evidence is provided that lower provision is appropriate. The normal minimum requirement would therefore be 17 spaces, the proposal would have a shortfall of 9 spaces"

Section Residential Amenity -  "The site provides approximately 58m2 of usable private outdoor amenity space excluding the paths around the property. The abovementioned supplementary planning document sets out that residential institutions should provide 20m2 per resident. The lack of outdoor amenity space coupled with the volume of occupants proposed and lack of communal areas raises significant concerns in relation to an impact on future occupiers by not providing an adequate level of amenity."

The new proposal of reducing the dwelling from 13 to 11 bedrooms will still leave the occupancy level at 13 (rear annex ground and first floor 2 x occupants), Also the proposed office / work area on the first floor would not be able to cater for multiple people from assumed different companies. Just imaging Teams Meetings I there believe if planning is granted this room will be converted into a bedroom.
