At the moment only part of the area – centred on the road after which it is named – is covered by a so-called “article 4 direction”, which removes the automatic ‘permitted development’ right to turn a property into an HMO for six people or fewer – without having to seek approval.The authority could now expand that restriction so that it covers streets including Walton’s Parade, Stanley Place, North Cliff Street, South Cliff Street, West Cliff Terrace and Christian Road.
“Many of the properties throughout the conservation area have been adapted to accommodate additional tenants and…this has had a noticeable visual impact,” the document notes. An article 4 direction already covers all of the most built-up parts of the Avenham Conservation Area, but the report states that HMO conversions have nevertheless become common.
