Plan to turn house in Milton Keynes into five flats rejected over lack of parking
Peter Briggs, of Rugby, wants to rent out the house in Cranborne Avenue, Westcroft, but has been told he has not provided enough space for all the cars to park.
Planning officer Charlotte Ashby, in her report, said: “The development, if permitted, would be likely to lead to additional on-street parking to the detriment of highway safety, convenience and amenity of local residents.”

> A homeowners’ plan to build a better house for their needs has been rejected by MK Council planning officers.
Neighbours of the property in Bramley Meadows, Newport Pagnell, told the planning department that they thought the development would make the area cramped and change the character of the neighbourhood.
Planning officer Luke Gledhill agreed with the objectors, saying that there would not be enough garden space to meet the needs of potentially five occupants.
Other planning decisions made by the council include:
