Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether prior approval should be granted having particular regard to the effects of the proposal on the external appearance of the building
Whether prior approval should be granted having particular regard to the effects of the proposal on the amenity of neighbouring premises
Whether prior approval should be granted having particular regard to the transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The proposal fails on all three matters requiring prior approval assessment: it would be visually incongruous and harmful to the building's external appearance, overbearing to neighbouring amenity, and would create unacceptable highways impacts through parking overspill in an already stressed area.
