PLANS have been sent in seeking to convert a property into a house of multiple occupation (HMO).
Applicant Raj Seegum sent in the plans for the change of use of a house on Prescot Road, St Helens into an eight-bedroom HMO.
A HMO is a property rented out by at least three people who are not from one 'household' but share facilities like a bathroom and kitchen.
