A HOUSE in Cwmfelinfach could be turned into temporary accommodation – if planning permission is granted.

The two-bedroom house at 26 Maindee Road is proposed to be changed into a four-bedroom House in Multiple Occupation (HMO).

A HMO is accommodation run by a private landlord, with bedrooms rented out to unrelated tenants who share facilities.

A maximum of four people will live in this HMO and will share one bathroom, a living room and a kitchen.

Cardiff-based developer D2 Propco is behind the plans. The company is also behind an application for a HMO on Blackwood High Street, which is yet to be decided.

A decision on the application is expected to be made by Caerphilly County Borough Council’s planning officers by September 7 – unless it’s called into planning committee.
