Anthony Woolley:

I've signed your petition. We are in a similar situation. Property below us has just been given a green light by the HMO Committee for an 11 persons HMO!! I have taken the council to court and have a lot of ammunition. HMO regulations state that the only outside factor an HMO Committee must consider is potential noise disturbance due to "design flaws" in the building. Also look at article 8 of the human rights act. Local authorities have to take positive steps to protect you from noise. I am doing a self-representation in court, I will keep you informed if I'm successful you will be welcome to use my case as a test case and I'll help you take on Glasgow City Council. I'm in Edinburgh.
