Inspectors side with council over “inappropriate” HMO
A bid to build a bigger HMO in Bearwood High Street has been blocked by a government inspector.
The planning application to build the 12-bed house of multiple occupation (HMO) in Bearwood was called “inappropriate” and “unattractive” and rejected by Sandwell Council last year and an appeal was lodged with the government’s planning inspectors in a bid to get the decision overturned.
