Why it was refused

  1. The change of use of the property as a C4 House in Multiple Occupation would fail to provide sufficient parking provision in an area where parking demand already exceeds parking capacity. Due to a shortfall of 3 off-street parking spaces, the change of use would give rise to an unacceptable degree of harm to highway manoeuvrability and safety. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policies CT2, CT10 and HN7 of Plan:MK, the Parking Standards SPD and the HMO SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
