Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and its surroundings

- The implications of the scheme for on-street parking in the area
What decided it
The combination of disparate and awkward elements, particularly the hip-to-gable conversion and box dormer additions, would have a clearly harmful effect on the character and appearance of the host building and its surroundings, conflicting with national and local design policies.
