Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, in terms of outlook, enclosure and light
the effect on protected species

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through loss of outlook and light and increased sense of enclosure, which would conflict with the development plan and was not outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances.

The appellant's desire to increase living space to accommodate a growing family did not outweigh the permanent harm to neighbouring living conditions.
