Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to its siting and scale
the living conditions for the occupiers of No. 2 Laburnum Close, with particular regard to the size of the retained outdoor space
whether there would be satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with particular regard to its outdoor space provision

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's forward siting, small scale, and cramped form would be wholly discordant with the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the established building line, causing unacceptable harm that conflicts with the development plan and NPPF.
