Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 18 and 20 Andover Road, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it

The modest benefits from one additional housing unit and good access to services and public transport were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on the character and appearance of the area and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
