Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The living conditions of the occupants of 3 Hallfields with regards noise and disturbance, and the occupants of 30 Semele Close with regards outlook
Whether the proposed dwelling would have safe and suitable access
Whether the proposal would provide sufficient parking space and the effect on highway safety in the area
Whether the proposal would include suitable waste management arrangements

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and outlook impacts, and would not provide safe and suitable access for emergency vehicles, which collectively outweighed the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
