Welling home could become six-bed HMO with no parking

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 12:31 · Archive

Plans have been submitted to convert a Welling family home into a six-bedroom house in multiple occupation with no dedicated parking.

Plans have been submitted to Bexley Council to convert 28 Wrotham Road in Welling from a conventional family home into a six-bedroom HMO for up to six unrelated people. A house in multiple occupation is a property where people rent individual bedrooms but share facilities such as kitchens and living areas.

Under the plans, the property would contain six single-occupancy bedrooms alongside shared kitchen, dining and living room. The existing garage would also be converted into habitable accommodation, with the garage door replaced by a window. However, no dedicated car parking spaces are proposed for the six-person HMO.

The applicant has acknowledged that the property has a Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) rating of 1a, which is considered low. In response, the plans propose a 'low-car approach', including secure storage for six bicycles, providing one space for each resident. The existing driveway and vehicular access would remain, and the planning statement notes there is established on-street parking in the surrounding area.
