Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
The living conditions of local residents by way of outlook, noise and disturbance
Whether or not the proposal would adversely affect protected species and biodiversity

What decided it

The combination of substantial harm to character and appearance from both the incongruous front dwelling design and uncharacteristic backland location of the rear dwelling, together with significant harm to the living conditions of No. 18 Church Way through noise and disturbance, outweighed any material considerations in favour of the proposal.
