Plans for Former Hotel Conversion into HMO
Plans exist, submitted by developers to convert a disused hotel in Kent into an HMO with 46 bedrooms. The former Premier Inn in Singlewell, Gravesend stands unused and flagged when earlier attempts connected room rentals with studio flats lacking proper sanction.
Developers, having purchased the site from previous proprietors, request a change in use from hotel to HMO. Local authorities, discussing planning details, work closely with the developers while concerns of the community arise.
Room conversions come paired with interior reworking: designs include communal kitchens and living areas, arrangements meant to provide affordable housing options for people of varying means while keeping high standards intact. A decision by the planning committee awaits, its timeline set close as discussions proceed.
This project marks a broader trend in converting existing buildings into housing that meets local needs. Investors, watching a shifting rental market and evolving local regulations, must note the potential discovered in such property reconfigurations. In sum, a decommissioned hotel stands ready for its new role as an HMO, a step directed at affordable, quality living that fits within community rules.
