Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions for the occupants of No 6 Brooklyn Avenue

What decided it

The proposal would demonstrably harm the established uniformity and architectural rhythm of the cluster of bungalows and would cause substantial harm to the outlook and daylight of neighbouring occupants, contrary to the development plan policies.

The limited benefits of housing supply and economic benefits were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours.
