Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The combination of visual harm to character and appearance through incongruous curved roof forms and the significant adverse effect on neighbouring living conditions through loss of light to No. 26 Netley Road rendered the proposal contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.
