PLANS have been put forward to build an extension and covert a single home in Poole into a large house of multiple occupation.

PNM Construction Ltd is seeking permission to carry out the residential development at 47 Longfleet Road.

If approved, the extended building would provide a nine-bedroom HMO with shared amenity space along with secure cycle and bin storage.

A planning statement submitted on behalf of the applicant by Chapman Lily Planning Ltd says the extensions would be at ground floor level and above the existing single storey extension.

The basement of the building would accommodate two en-suite bedrooms. The ground floor would have three bedrooms, two of these being en-suite and one having a toilet. The first floor would feature three bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, and a shared bathroom. The final bedroom would be an en-suite on the second floor.

Residents have until June 20 to submit comments to BCP Council's planning department.
