Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the single-storey side extension and boundary wall on the living conditions of the occupiers of 87A/87B Malvern Road, with regard to light, outlook, and whether it would be overbearing or create a sense of enclosure

- the effect of the first-floor balcony on the character and appearance of the dwelling, and the surrounding area
What decided it
The single-storey side extension and boundary wall would cause unmitigated harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of 87A/87B Malvern Road with regard to light, outlook, overbearing effect, and enclosure, which could not be outweighed by the acceptable aspects of the proposal.
