Local residents in Glasgow’s West End have opposed plans to convert a nearby house into a house in multiple occupation (HMO). Their objections focus on potential noise disturbances, citing issues with thin walls in the building.
Neighbors worry that increased occupancy could lead to louder environments and disrupt the quiet character of the area. The concerns have been formally submitted during the planning consultation process.
**Why this matters**
HMOs can provide affordable housing options but may also bring challenges related to noise and community impact. Balancing housing needs with residents’ quality of life is a key consideration in urban planning decisions.
