An application for a house of multiple occupancy (HMO) in Kensington that drove a tenant to tears before being rejected is to be heard by Liverpool Council for a second time.
Just two months ago, James Jones gave an emotional testimony about life living around Molyneux Road as plans were debated for a seven-bedroom HMO above a former hairdresser’s salon. Proposals submitted by INM Properties Ltd hoped to install seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, two shared kitchens and a communal living room across the three floors.
Mr Jones, who lives in the upper flat above the proposed HMO, became emotional when addressing councillors about his experiences, explaining how he had “put up with a hell of a lot of night-time drinking” and said parking around the site was a “disaster.” A tearful Mr Jones added: “I just want to live in peace.”
