Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the building and the locality
The living conditions of existing and future occupiers with regards to the provision of private garden space
Whether the vehicular access and parking layout is appropriate for the proposed development, with regards to highway safety
Whether Flood Risk Assessment provides sufficient details of escape routes during a flood event and adequately deals with surface water when assessed against the Development Plan policies

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the building and locality through excessive visual bulk and massing, would leave inadequate private garden space for future occupiers, and would not provide safe escape routes during a flood event.
