Council enforcement officers discovered a nine-bed HMO had been created without permission after a complaint from neighbours, councillors have heard.

A meeting of Bury ’s planning committee deliberated on a retrospective application to create a HMO at Bolton Road, Bury, close the junction with Glenboro Avenue.

The meeting heard from a senior planning officer, who told councillors: “We received a complaint to our enforcement team.

“It was only when we were able to get inside the property we were able to see that it was a nine-bed HMO.
