Another sector of society will get priced out of Brighton if they reduce HMO’s.
No. They can reduce HMO’s by approving more and more purpose built Student accommodation (thousands of rooms have come on stream in the last few years and thousands will follow over the next couple of years) AND still see more HMO options for non-Student renters. This is about reclaiming areas that have suffered ‘studentification’ like Hanover and rebuilding family communities.
