Much loved business, A1 Tyres, is under threat as the landlord would like to demolish the building to make way for a five bedroom HMO (house of multiple occupancy).
A planning application has been submitted to Cardiff Council by the landlord of 10 Splott Road to demolish the existing buildings and erect a two-storey house of multiple occupancy (five bed HMO).
If planning permission is granted, A1 Tyres would be given notice and yet another business in Splott would close.
A HMO, or House of Multiple Occupation, is a building or part of a building occupied by at least three unrelated people from more than one household, who share amenities like a kitchen, bathroom, or toilet. This category includes shared houses, bedsits, hostels, and some converted self-contained flats
The landlord had previously applied for planning permission for a seven bed HMO, but planning was declined.
In line with planning rules, the public has the right to make a comment on the planning portal supporting or objecting to the application during a consultation period (which ends this Friday, 31st October).
If you would like to comment, in favour or against, you have to log in to the planning portal.
