Plans for a huge shared house in Oldham have been compared to ‘little kennels’ as a councillor slammed the rise of HMOs in the borough as ‘rotten’.
An application to convert a private home into a house in multiple occupation (HMO) to accommodate 18 people has been granted by the council’s planning committee. There had been 44 public objections to the plans, raising concerns about parking problems, and a potential increase in anti-social behaviour; compared to seven letters of support citing a shortage of affordable housing in the area.
The proposals relate to an 18-bedroom house – once a former pub – on Ronald Street that has been extended, and where accommodation is spread across four floors, including the basement.
Under the plans lodged by Sameer Zulqurnain, the basement would have a bike store, a cinema and games room, study and work area, stores, utility room and bathroom, with bedrooms – some with en-suite bathrooms – spread across the other three floors.

Outlining the recommendation for approval, case officer Matthew Taylor said ‘minimal’ external alterations were proposed.
“There is a need in the town for all types of accommodation,” he added. “We’ve seen a large shift towards more applications in relations to HMOs recently.
“It currently is a large scale property which could accommodate a large family, and the number of people it could accommodate in the rooms is very, very similar.
“The facilities provided before you meet both the council’s HMO guidance and the national space standards for size of bedrooms, so in terms of amenity for the occupiers, it is acceptable.”
Mr Taylor said the proposals had been reduced
