Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupants of 179 Goldington Road, with regard to outdoor private amenity space
- whether the development provides adequate living conditions for the occupants of the dwelling, with regard to outdoor private amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable harmful effects on highway safety due to lack of parking provision and the severe reduction in private amenity space for the existing HMO occupants, which would create oppressively confined living conditions contrary to local plan policies.
