The Living Room has submitted a retrospective planning application for the property at 2 Drury Road, Bournemouth, proposing to operate it as a house in multiple occupation (HMO) for up to eight residents. Previously, it functioned as a HMO and had planning permission in 2019 for conversion into five flats. Due to Covid-19 and financial issues, the owners rented rooms to maintain the property, unaware it counted as HMO use. The application stresses social, economic, and environmental benefits, and public consultation is open until June 18, with a decision pending from council officers.
