Policy for HMOs and Student Accommodation

Support

Representation ID: 56439

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Coventry City Council

Note that a substantial number of students attending University of Warwick in particular reside in Warwick District, and further that there are concentrations of shared student housing in south Leamington. You may be aware that we are currently undertaking a rigorous evidence gathering exercise, including evidence from the University of Warwick, about this issue. We note the existence of an "Article 4 Direction" relating to HMO's in the south of Leamington, and have no evidence of any adverse impact of that on Coventry. The proposed policy criteria set out appear to us to be appropriate and reasonable, and therefore raise no objection.
