Plans have been submitted to Caerphilly County Borough Council to convert a house in Trinant into a House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO).

The three-bedroom house, located at 25 Cedar Road in the Crumlin ward, could be changed into a HMO with four bedrooms.

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

Residents would share a kitchen, dining area, a bathroom and a WC, if the plans are approved by the council.

A decision is expected to be made by the council’s planning department by March 16.
