Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs)

The Committee is aware that the estate has reached its legal threshold (20%) for HMOs, and that there are instances of work happening / being approved without review under 'Permitted Development'. The Committee are working closely with our Local Councillors to tackle this issue with the City of York Council, but we are currently unsure of timescales. However, research by the Committee has led to rejection of three planning requests over the last year, and the council now have new rules in place regarding HMO registration.

Below is a map to show where the known HMOs are on the estate. Please let us know if you are aware of any others.
