Viram Goraniya seeks to turn the vacant White O’Morn property into a house in multiple occupation, addressing the need for rental space for singles.
Viram Goraniya, representing Three Plus Ltd, has submitted a planning application to change the use of White O’Morn, located on Navigation Street, into a house in multiple occupation (HMO). This property, according to Mr Goraniya, has been unoccupied for over two years.
The proposal aims to convert two reception rooms within the large property into additional bedrooms, responding to the rising demand for rental accommodations for single, unrelated adults. Specifically, plans include transforming a small reception room on the ground floor into a bedroom, as well as dividing a larger reception area to accommodate another bedroom. Furthermore, upstairs plans indicate that two existing bedrooms will be split to increase the available accommodation.
Despite these alterations, the remainder of the property is expected to maintain its current layout. As part of the planning process, the application is now being consulted, and interested parties can review the details online on the Caerphilly County Borough Council's website, with the reference number 25/0001/COU.
