## Resource

Melton Borough Council has rejected plans to convert an office building into a ten-bedroom House of Multiple Occupation, calling it a “recipe for disaster” after heated debate. Residents raised alarms over parking shortages and the site’s proximity to a primary school, with over twenty objections. Though council officers argued there was little legal basis to block the application, committee members voted to refuse it due to cramped communal spaces, minimal outdoor areas, and the mismatch between residents and parking. Applicant Adrian Roberts, who didn’t attend the meeting, now has six months to appeal the decision. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
