An 11-bedroom HMO could be created at a Chandler’s Ford property following a planning application submitted to Eastleigh Borough Council.

The proposal concerns 232 Leigh Road, where the existing house would be converted into a home for 11 unrelated residents.

No further extensions or external building works are proposed as part of the application.

The property has already been enlarged under planning permission granted in February, with a two-storey rear extension, garage conversion and loft conversion among the approved works. Those works are now described as nearly complete.

The proposed HMO would contain 11 bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, alongside a shared kitchen, living and dining area.

The communal accommodation would have direct access to the rear garden.

The property already has 11 parking spaces on its driveway, while secure cycle storage is also proposed.

The applicant says the scheme would make efficient use of an existing residential property.
