Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
highway safety, with particular regard to the proposed access arrangements and parking provision
the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 153 Harrow Road, with particular regard to light and privacy

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance, highway safety, and neighbour amenity—and the modest benefits do not outweigh the identified harm.

The limited benefits of housing provision, site sustainability, and construction employment were insufficient to outweigh the substantial harm to character and appearance, highway safety, and neighbouring living conditions.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 10 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy (2014)Policy 1 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies (2019)
