A bid for a certificate of lawfulness for a change of use of a house on Bexhill Gardens, Rainhill from a four-bedroom home to a three-bedroom six-person HMO was sent to the council.

In a report planning officer Tony Jackson said: "There is no planning history that restricts the use of the building to one falling solely within Use Class C3.
"The building therefore benefits from permitted development rights to change the use of the building.
"The change of use of the building to a HMO with a maximum of six residents is therefore considered to be permitted development and planning permission would therefore not be required for the change of use."
A precious application proposing the change of use of the site for an assessment centre for up to three families, was put forward in late 2024 and refused as council planners ruled that the use would have a detrimental impact on neighbours.
