Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect on the character and appearance of the area and the host building
whether the proposal would result in satisfactory living conditions for any occupiers
whether the proposal would provide an appropriate mix of dwelling sizes
whether the proposal provides sufficient information in relating to cycle parking and waste disposal, and if so, whether adequate provision is made

What decided it

The proposal fails on multiple grounds: poor design harmful to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for the top-floor flat due to insufficient floor area and ceiling height, inappropriate housing mix of only small units, and lack of cycle storage and waste disposal provision.
