Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in an intensive form of residential occupation, on a site where car parking provision is significantly below the level set out in Appendix 4b (sui generis uses) of Making Spaces for Growing Places. This would exacerbate parking pressures to the detriment of the area, contrary to Policies MSGP15 and MSGP'17 of the Gateshead Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
