Kegworth's HMO Battle: Council Approves Despite Neighbor Concerns
Description
North West Leicestershire District Council approved another House of Multiple Occupation in Kegworth village, despite neighbor concerns over parking and community impact. The councils decision to allow the conversion of a one-and-a-half-story home at forty-two A High Street into a four-resident HMO, despite an Article Four Direction aimed at regulating HMOs, has sparked controversy. Locals and the parish council argue that the village is already oversaturated with HMOs, leading to parking issues and a loss of community spirit. They also point out that HMO tenants avoid full council tax, while homeowners face hefty monthly bills. Despite these objections, the council pushed through the approval, indicating that HMOs continue to be a contentious issue in Kegworth.
