PLANS to allow up to eight people to live in a four-bedroom terraced house have been approved by the council despite 75 objections from residents.
The house at number 52 Park Grove, Barnsley, will have only minor internal alterations to become a 'house of multiple occupation' for eight people.
The ground floor lounge will become a bedroom and the dining room a 'communal area', while two bedrooms on the first floor will be knocked together to create a larger room, and the bathroom will become two shower rooms.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
