Neighbours have welcomed plans to enlarge a house in mulitple occupation (HMO) but concerns have been raised over parking becoming a 'competition'. Permission has been granted to turn the ground floor of a former shop in Carlton Road into a bedroom.
The property overall already has six bedrooms and the conversion will turn it into a seven-bedroom property. The HMO has led some people to raise concerns as parking in the area is already an issue.
Sydney Brown, 71, who is retired said: “Where are they going to park? I live round the corner and people are parking legally but it’s getting to the point where if you leave when you come back, you can’t get a parking space.
