Search the Public Notice PortalPLANS have been submitted to the council to convert an existing six-bedroom house in multiple occupation (HMO) into an eight-bedroom HMO.
Located at 210 Robins Lane, the proposal seeks full planning permission to change the use of the building from a small HMO (Class C4), currently occupied by six unrelated individuals, to a larger HMO (Sui Generis) for up to eight people.
The plans also include the addition of a dormer extension and rooflights to create the extra space needed.
James Eisen, of Adams Edwards Property Solutions, is listed as the applicant, with Graham Coule of RAL Architects Limited acting as the agent.
The site is not currently vacant and is already operating as an HMO under its existing use class.
No changes are proposed to the building’s external materials, with plans showing the continued use of render for the walls, a tiled roof, and white uPVC windows for the dormer extension.
Parking provision will be updated to reflect the increased occupancy, with the number of cycle spaces rising from six to eight.
Vehicle and pedestrian access arrangements will remain unchanged, as will refuse storage and collection.
No trees or hedges on or near the site are expected to be affected by the proposed works.
The planning application states that the site is not within a flood risk area and is not near any watercourses.
Surface water will be disposed of via the mains sewers, along with foul sewage.
Biodiversity net gain requirements do not apply to the application, as it falls under the "de minimis" exemption for small-scale developments.
If approved, the proposal will result in a net gain of two residential units, increasing from six to eight single-occupancy rooms.
The applicant has not sought pre-application advice from the council.
St Helens Borough Council is currently reviewing the application, which remains under consideration.
Members of the public can view and comment on the application via the council’s planning portal using the reference number P/2026/0364/FUL.
