Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with respect to privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would fail to complement the character and appearance of the surrounding area and would result in substantial overlooking harm to neighbouring living conditions that could not be adequately mitigated.

The limited benefits of effective roof space use and employment provision were outweighed by the substantially greater harmful effects on character and appearance and the substantial adverse impact on neighbouring privacy.
