Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with respect to privacy
What decided it
The substantial and unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the intended future occupiers, arising from deficiencies in internal floor area, bedroom widths, private amenity space, and parking, could not be outweighed by the modest housing and visual benefits, even under the tilted balance.
