I agree that developments for uni student accommodation and HMOs need to be addressed in conjunction but strongly feel a policy needs to be urgently introduced ahead of the Local Plan as the current Article 4 directions offer no real control or limitation of these developments and are not ensuring balanced accommodation. In certain parts of South Leamington there is already a proliferation of student/HMO properties meaning other types of tenure, in particular family homes and first time buyer properties, are being displaced by bedsits. This has created predominantly transient populations and real problems re. noise, rubbish and parking.
