Plans to expand Northampton HMO to nine bedrooms among latest planning applications submitted to council

Plans to increase the number of people living in a Northampton house in multiple occupation (HMO) from six to nine are among the latest planning applications submitted to West Northamptonshire Council.

The proposals for 15 Marriott Street, Northampton, would see the existing six-bedroom, six-person HMO converted into a nine-bedroom property accommodating nine people.

The application (2026/3454/FULL) also includes internal alterations and minor works to the rear of the building.

It is one of a number of proposals currently being considered by the council, including new homes, changes to listed buildings and alterations to existing properties.

In Northampton, applications have also been submitted for fire remediation works at Bloomsbury House, 27 Guildhall Road (2026/4264/FULL and 2026/4265/LBC).

Meanwhile, listed building consent is being sought to replace and repair internal doors at 17 Market Square (2026/4450/LBC) to address health and safety and security requirements.

At Dallington Hall, Dallington Park Road, an application (2026/4380/S73) seeks to vary conditions attached to an earlier permission, including revised plans, elevations, positioning and external finishes for a proposed workshop.
