Adopted Birmingham Development Plan
The Birmingham Development Plan (BDP) 2031 was adopted by Birmingham City Council on 10 January 2017. The BDP sets out a spatial vision and strategy for the sustainable growth of Birmingham for the period 2011 to 2031, and will be used to guide decisions on planning, development and regeneration.
Adoption of the BDP results in changes to the statutory development plan. This includes replacing the policies in the Birmingham Unitary Development Plan 2005, with the exception of policies contained in chapter 8 and paragraphs 3.14 to 3.14D of that plan, which will continue in force until the adoption of the council’s proposed development management development plan document.
Harborne Planning Policy Document
Houses in Multiple Occupation in the Article 4 Direction Area of Selly Oak, Edgbaston and Harborne wards.
Purpose
This Planning Policy Document is to provide a policy approach to apply to planning applications seeking
a change in use from residential property to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in the Article 4
Direction area.
A decision to introduce an Article 4 Direction in this area has resulted from an analysis of city wide
concentrations of HMOs revealing the particularly high levels found in Bournbrook and the spread to
surrounding areas of Selly Oak, Harborne and Edgbaston wards.
The Planning Policy Document will be a material planning consideration until the policy is included in
the forthcoming Development Management Development Plan Document.
Aim of the policy
The policy aims to manage the growth of HMOs by dispersing the locations of future HMOs and
avoiding over-
neighbourhoods included in the confirmed Article 4 area have capacity to accommodate further HMOs
in the right locations. Existing high concentrations in parts of Selly Oak ward have led to a significant
loss of amenity for residents.
Scope
Conversion from a C3 to a C4 use1 is a permitted development right and owners of property would
normally have no need to inform the local authority that a family dwelling is changing to a small (C4)
HMO.
However in November 2014, an Article 4 Direction will be brought into effect that will remove
these permitted development rights for change of use to C4 HMOs, within a designated area of Selly
Oak, Edgbaston and Harborne wards.
Within the area covered by the Article 4, planning permission will be required to convert a family
dwelling into a C4 HMO. Planning permission is already required for a change from a dwelling to a
larger (Sui Generis) HMO. In this way the planning authority can make a judgement as to whether any
further HMOs should be permitted and the basis for their decision will be the city’s planning guidance
as to whether such a use would harm local amenity, the proper planning of the area, and/or lead to
creating an unbalanced neighbourhood. This guidance is further strengthened by the adoption of this
Policy.
The policy will not apply to purpose-
retrospectively to existing C4 HMOs.
