Landlord Seeks Approval To Continue HMO Use At Flaxfield Road

Someone wants to keep using a house as an HMO. The house is at 9 Flaxfield Road. They need permission after already changing how it’s used. They are asking the council for this permission now.

The applicant says the house isn’t good for a family. They cite its location and small outdoor space, making it best suited as a shared home.

This house sits at the end of Flaxfield Road, near the shops in Basingstoke. The road has houses, flats, and shops too. The applicant says the location works great for an HMO where Individuals or couples can share the place and the newly built amenities.

The house has five bedrooms in total. Downstairs, find one bedroom, a kitchen, a toilet, and a common area. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and storage. The top floor has two bedrooms and a shower room.

This home became an HMO in 2023. The applicant claims traffic hasn’t increased, and neighbours haven’t complained since then.

The applicant believes the house offers good, cheap housing, which they think is needed in the community. Affordable accommodation will serve a real purpose, according to them.
