AN application has been to Thurrock Council to extend two houses in Stanford-le-Hope and create a much larger facility to be used as a building of multiple occupancy for up to 20 people.

It is the latest in a series of moves by the owners of the site of two small houses at at 53 and 55 Third Avenue to get more out of the site. Previous applications to build ten – and then nine, then seven – homes on the site failed to come to fruition.

Currently the two existing buildings are used as two small HMOs (House of Multiple Occupancy) and offer accommodation in 11 bedroom.

Under a new plan, the site would have 20 bedrooms with communal amenities.

The applicants say: "The existing properties and their plots are largely out of scale with the surrounding dwellings and present an opportunity to provide further low cost accommodation to support housing provision in the local community."

The full details of the application and the opportunity to comment can be found here.
