Refused
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
- Permission was sought to change the dwelling to a six-bedroom house in multiple occupation, with rooflights added.
- Five residents and a councillor objected, citing parking, drainage, cumulative impact, anti-social behaviour and harm to a family housing area.
- Members unanimously voted to refuse, citing the property's closeness to neighbours and the greater intensity of use in a settled residential area.
