Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and area through its discordant appearance, scale and massing, and would fail to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate internal space, single-aspect design, limited daylight and outlook, and insufficient external amenity space.
