Plans for a new shared home have been blocked after being labelled "unacceptable" and "harmful" by council development City Council has refused proposals for a house in multiple occupation (HMO) at Riversdale Terrace in Sunderland's Millfield ward, due to the number already in the area and risk of anti-social behaviour. Planners said the house, which was proposed to be converted into a seven-bedroom dwelling across three floors, would "lead to an overconcentration of HMOs" if applicant has the right to challenge the council refusal decision by lodging an appeal with the Secretary of State. The initial proposed site plan showed all HMO bedrooms offering an en-suite bathroom, and some bedrooms served by also stated there would be a bin storage area and noted no parking would be provided, although plans were later amended to provide one space, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said. 'Undermine quality of life' Council planners said there would be "adequate living space and an acceptable standard of amenity" for future they said its approval would result in the number of HMOs exceeding 10% of all residential properties within 100m (328ft), which went against council planning said the plans were an "inappropriate development" and would work against "the aim of creating places that are safe, inclusive and crime and disorder, and the fear of crime, do not undermine the quality of life or community cohesion and resilience".Northumbria Police also objected to those living in rooms on the second floor having to "travel the full height of the building to store food and prepare meals", as well as the "small amount of external space" and "potential for anti-social behaviour to spill out into the surrounding locality".Council planners concluded it would be "unacceptable as it would be considered to be harmful to the character and amenities of the area".

Peterborough businesses struggling during 'cafe culture' works
Businesses along a busy city road have said they are struggling while a "cafe culture" redevelopment project takes place. Shops and cafés on Lincoln Road in Peterborough reported a sharp reduction in customers after part of the pavement was fenced off and a one-way traffic system introduced. The improvement works in the heart of Millfield will result in wider walkways and a new pedestrian crossing but Mohammed Farooq, owner of Chicken Palace on Lincoln Road, said "about 65% of our business is gone."Peterborough City Council said it was "trying to put in as much mitigation as possible" for businesses. Mr Farooq told the BBC: "People can hardly walk along the path."Metal gates were erected around the work site between the junctions with Windmill Street and Searjeant Street while the pavements were Mahmood, manager of Nafees, said his South Asian sweets and bakery business was "totally dead".He said businesses which could deliver food to customers were less affected, but his goods must be kept refrigerated."We are suffering right now," he added. The £3.5m works to Lincoln Road were funded in part by the government's Towns Fund designed to encourage economic growth in struggling areas. Peterborough City Council has said the changes aim to encourage people to walk and cycle in the area and bring a boost to the local economy. The work is due to continue until spring Aziz, owner of dessert restaurant Chocoberry on Lincoln Road, said the redevelopments were a "positive" for his business."Hopefully it'll bring new people and people will be excited to come to this road rather than thinking about it in a negative way," he said. "It's a positive thing for us. It's just that we need to make sure that things progress faster. It's a bit too slow."But overall I think it's a good thing and a good development for the area," he Ellis, both a ward councillor for Millfield and Peterborough's cabinet member for environment and transport, said he understood there would be "some disruption" while the works took place. "There was a concern about deliveries to the businesses," he said. "We've put in some mitigations to make sure there's some parking spaces for the deliveries they need."Ellis said businesses were also being sent newsletters updating them about the works, adding the council was "actively promoting the area" on social media."This is a catalyst for regeneration. Once this is done, in the future we can look at what else is possible," he added. Follow Peterborough news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

Beating Somerset a 'big statement' - Bell-Drummond
Kent opener Daniel Bell-Drummond says ending Somerset's 100 percent start to their T20 Blast campaign is "a big statement".The 31-year-old played a starring role, scoring his first century of the competition this season as Kent Spitfires posted 228-5 and won by four runs in smashed 12 fours and four sixes off 49 balls to score exactly 100 as Kent moved within six points of the South Group leaders."It was a brilliant game of cricket, I enjoyed it from start to finish, and I think the crowd enjoyed it as well," he told BBC Radio Kent. 'Really proud day at my second home' Somerset, victors in each of their first five Blast games before Sunday, last won the competition in 2023, but have also been runners-up twice in the past four seasons."It is always a difficult place because they're always at the top or close to winning this competition, so for us to win [there] is a big statement," Bell-Drummond added."I was a bit slow to start but once I got going, everything I was hitting was finding gaps, going for four or six, so it was just one of those days."Bell-Drummond, who has spent his entire county career with Kent, attended Millfield public school in Somerset as a youngster after securing a scholarship to study there."It [Sunday] was a really proud day for me because I went to school down the road and I've got a lot of friends there who are basically my family," he added."It was great having them all down [to watch]. It's almost my second home so I was really proud to win in front of old friends and teachers."Kent next welcome Gloucestershire to the Spitfire Ground on Wednesday evening.
