Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the location of the proposed development is acceptable, considering its proximity to St Mary's Primary School and Newton Preparatory School
The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regards to noise
Whether it would provide sufficient cycle parking spaces
Whether it would make adequate provision for refuse storage and collection
Whether the location is acceptable with regards to flooding
Whether it would achieve the highest standards of fire safety
The effect of the proposed flue on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The cumulative conflicts with the development plan, particularly the breach of the 400-metre school proximity policy and inadequate mitigation of noise, flood risk, fire safety, cycle parking and refuse collection issues, outweighed the limited economic benefits.
