Former Plumstead pub could become 17-person HMO
Plans are in to increase the size of a HMO at a former pub building on Plumstead High Street.
O’Dowds closed some years ago and currently has a HMO for 11 people which was approved retrospectively in 2023 and included a “change of use of the upper floors of a public house (Sui Generis) to a large HMO (Sui Generis) with a maximum capacity of 11-persons, alteration to internal layout and associated cycle parking and refuse.”
The applicant – Vantage (Plumstead) Limited – now want to increase that to 17 people.
The new application seeks an extension at the rear as well as changes to some rooms.
A new block of eight flats has also been approved behind the pub and now visible from the High Street. That includes “5 x 2 bedroom flats and 3 x1 bedroom flats, plus associated secure bicycle parking and refuse storage areas at the rear.”
Approval for that was given back in 2018 and covered on this site back then.
