New South Tyneside HMO plans submitted to council chiefs - here's where
New Jarrow HMO plans submitted to South Tyneside Council chiefs.
Plans for a new six-bedroom house in multiple occupation (HMO) in Jarrow have been submitted to council development chiefs.
South Tyneside Council’s planning department has received an application for 54 Salem Street in the borough's Primrose ward.
Plans are seeking permission for the change of use from a residential dwelling to a six-bed, six-person HMO.
Submitted floor plans show two en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor, one en-suite bedroom and two bedrooms with off-suites on the first floor, and one en-suite bedroom on the second floor.
Conversion has not been completed
Plans for the ground floor also include a kitchen / dining area and cycle storage facilities with six spaces for residents and two spaces for visitors.
The application falls against a backdrop of South Tyneside Council’s decision last year (2025) to launch an “immediate” borough-wide Article 4 Direction removing permitted development rights for small HMOs, meaning that planning permission is now needed for all HMOs across the borough.
A submitted planning application from Aidan Ryan Property Ltd states work on the Salem Street HMO conversion started in July 2025 but has not been completed.
There was no supporting planning statement document available to view on South Tyneside Council’s planning portal website providing details of the proposed HMO’s target occupiers or management.
However, the agent for the scheme is listed as Beaumont and Partners which has been providing supporting documents for a number of recent HMO applications submitted to local authority planners.
Decision on planning application expected
In other applications represented by the planning agent, it was noted that its properties are “professionally designed and managed” and aimed at “young working professionals” and that there is a “dedicated property manager with a set of guidelines” covering areas such as preventing antisocial behaviour and property maintenance.
A decision on the planning application is expected following a council consultation exercise.
