Plans have been submitted to convert a house in Pontllanfraith into a House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO).

The three-bedroom house, at 53 Sir Ivor’s Road, could now become a small HMO with four bedrooms and a shared bathroom and kitchen, if aproved by Caerphilly County Borough Council.

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

A public consultation on the application is now open.

A decision is expected to be made by a council planning officer by December 10.
