Plans to turn three Southampton homes into houses in multiple occupations (HMOs) have sparked concerns among residents.

Three separate planning applications have been submitted in the last month.

These involve using homes with more than seven bedrooms as shared accommodation.

Here are all the plans submitted to the city council recently.

Atherley Road

The city council received a planning application to build a two-storey rear extension to a family home on Atherley Road.

The house would become an eight-bed HMO if the plans are approved.

However, residents have criticised the proposals arguing they would worsen issues with parking.

One resident said: "As a family on the same street, we want to see more family homes in this area, not more HMOs.

"Parking is tight on this road as it is and there have been many road traffic accidents at the Howard / Atherley junction. Adding another HMO will only make this situation worse."

Malmesbury Road

Residents have raised concerns over “antisocial behaviour" and "drug use” should an application for a nine-bed shared house on Malmesbury Road be approved.

The Freemantle house was previously an HMO but the licence has since expired.

Objections have been submitted to the city council, with one resident saying: “The property appearance is already unsightly, there is no garden space and tenants hang around the front of the property smoking drugs regularly.”

They added: “We have seen a lot of anti-social behaviour from the large number already staying in the property, including late-night arguments keeping us awake.”

Wilton Avenue

“Disappointed” residents have objected to plans to create a seven-bed shared home in Wilton Avenue.

They say plans would "saturate" the area "with ugly extended rooms to let".

One resident said: “This is so disappointing and disheartening when again we see the Polygon continuing to be saturated with ugly extended rooms to let.

"And not just to fill the capacity of the typical size of the homes here but to continuously extend them.

“The impact is inevitably on residents. Extra rooms on traditionally built Victorian homes are not only ugly but exacerbate the lack of parking availability and impact our green space. Already an issue."

A decision on these plans is yet to be made.
