Labour had a bit of a shout and a moan about this because of the delay in its coming to force. Now they are in office could they please let us know how many HMOs were set up during that period? Their big complaint was that loads would be set up because the Article 4 wasnt in place to stop it. Im sure this information cant be too difficult to collect.
ReplyDeletePoor lodgers - tidy respectable people... and yes they have a vote too!
ReplyDeleteI have had multiple lodgers for years and 98% have been excellent, so why does Thanet & other Councils PERSECUTE innocent lodgers just because of the minority of bad ones.
Roll on the recession - the homeless will be littering the streets - the council will be to blame for its 'not on my doorstep attitude'
I find it rather ironic that much of the expansion of Thanet from the late 18th century onwards to meet the needs of the booming holiday trade would been very difficult under the new article 4 directive. Most of the prestigious housing stock was built for use as use as either family dwellings or as lodging houses (these two uses being specifically mentioned in the deeds). Some of the large houses had a resident proprietor (maybe as a business tenant) who would then let various parts of the building to different people for various periods of time over the season - a large house may have had multiple families of lodgers in different parts of the building.
ReplyDeleteI thought this said NEW PLANNING REGULATIONS IN FORCE FOR HOMOs at first!
