Two planning applications to create houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) in Southdown are being considered by Bath & North East Somerset Council.
There are plans to turn 90 Langdon Road from a four-bed family house to a six-bed HMO.
The application says that parking would be provided for two cars.
One objector has written to the council to say that there are already several HMOs in the immediate area.
They add: “A change of use to a HMO would not serve the local demand for housing in this area and would result in the loss of suitable family accommodation.
“Approval of this application would maintain an undesirable precedent and should therefore be resisted.”
Another objector also highlights that there is already an HMO at No. 88 and that there is difficulty with parking in the road.
The planning reference is 25/00018/FUL. The deadline for comments is Wednesday 19th February.
There is also a current application is to turn a three-bed family house in The Hollow into a three-bed HMO.
The application for No. 216 says the semi-detached house will be for “professional sharers” and that one parking space will be provided, along with space for two cycles.
The planning reference is 25/00356/FUL. The deadline for comments is Tuesday 18th February.
