New hopes to limit HMOs Developers could find it harder to get permission for HMOs (Houses of Multiple Occupation) under changes planned to South Glos rules. Councillors, led by Filton's Adam Monk and Cheswick's James Arrowsmith, want to introduce a 'Supplementary Planning Document' which would mean there was stricter criteria for HMOs. This could include limiting numbers of HMOs within a certain radius or preventing HMOs which 'sandwich' conventional homes. Filton residents have been campaigning over the rise in numbers of HMOs since the beginning of the year. Several planning applications for large HMOs have been rejected by councillors but later overturned on appeal. This month, two more applications have been submitted - one for an eight-bed HMO at 46 Gloucester Road North and another for a nine-bed HMO at 54 Gaynor Road.
