Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The unacceptably poor living conditions that would result from the cramped and poorly lit communal space available to occupants outweighed the absence of parking and highway harm.
The absence of harmful impact on on-street parking and highway safety did not outweigh the harm to the living conditions of future occupants.
