Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of future occupants with regard to ceiling height
whether the proposed development would make suitable provision for cycle and refuse storage facilities

What decided it

The development would cause harmful effects to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, fail to meet minimum ceiling height standards for living conditions, and lack adequate cycle storage provision, with these harms not outweighed by the limited contribution of one additional bedroom.
