Policy HOU6 – Houses in Multiple Occupation:
This policy should be updated to include reference to ‘conversion to Houses in Multiple Occupation which are at flood risk in the 1 in 100 year plus climate change flood event’. Such conversions would only be acceptable if they provide finished floor levels on ground floor which are 600mm above the 1 in 100 year plus climate change flood level to ensure the safety of any future occupants.
