Grange-over-Sands B&B could become staff accommodation HMO
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 31 Oct, 07:16 · Archive
Fylde Coast YMCA seeks permission to convert an eight-bedroom bed and breakfast in Grange-over-Sands into accommodation for up to nine staff members.
Fylde Coast YMCA has submitted an application to Westmorland and Furness Council to change the use of Somerset House on Kents Bank Road from a bed and breakfast to a large HMO for staff members.
The four-storey property currently contains eight en-suite guest bedrooms, communal dining and living areas, a large kitchen and separate manager's accommodation. Under the proposal, the manager's room would be retained for a senior staff member whilst the eight bedrooms would accommodate other employees, providing accommodation for up to nine staff in total. The facility is intended to support the continued operation of Fylde Coast YMCA's National Outdoor Centre at Lakeside.
No external alterations are planned as part of the change of use. Somerset House sits within the Grange-over-Sands Conservation Area and is identified as an unlisted building that contributes positively to the area's architectural or historic interest. The applicant argues that the absence of external changes would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area. The property has no designated parking but sits within accessible reach of public transport and town-centre car parks.
