Planners have given the green light for a nine-bed house in multiple occupation (HMO) and a two-storey extension to a house in North Bristol. Neighbours raised fears about a loss of privacy and overlooking from the huge shared house, off a quiet cul-de-sac in Filton.
Property developers now have planning permission to build the extension on 54 Gayner Road, off the northern end of Gloucester Road. Councillors on South Gloucestershire Council's development management committee voted to approve permission on Thursday, March 16.
Concerns from people living nearby included the increased number of residents creating more rubbish, parking pressures and noise late at night. The house is accessed down a narrow lane, with gardens of neighbouring houses lying visible on either side of the lane.
