Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with regards to private garden space
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the conservation area through the incongruous form of the proposed dwelling, combined with the overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions and the absence of private garden space for future occupants, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits.
