HMO Proposal Sparks Braunstone Debate | Leicester News

Another HMO proposal is stirring up controversy in Braunstone Town, as Mr. S. Chopra seeks approval for a seven-bedroom ground-floor unit with three more upstairs — all on Braunstone Close. The same applicant has also submitted plans for even larger HMOs elsewhere in Leicester. Critics, including the council and local residents, are raising alarms over parking shortages, safety near busy junctions, and the broader impact on family housing and neighborhood character. While supporters argue HMOs are vital amid soaring rents, opponents fear they’re reshaping community life. A decision is due by September 9th — and tensions are only rising.
