Proposal to convert former children’s home into 14-person HMO in Sheffield withdrawn
The vacant, former children’s home on Morland Drive will not be converted into a HMO as the applicant withdrew the application before Sheffield Council’s planning officers made a decision.
As the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) reported in April, the two-storey dwelling house has 13 rooms but the proposal was to create a HMO for 14 individuals (14 bedrooms) with four en-suite bathrooms, shared bathroom facilities, and a spacious kitchen/living/dining area.

Of the 29 letters submitted during the consultation process, 28 were against it.
Neighbours raised issues with parking, traffic, and anti-social behaviour, among other things.
