Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area

What decided it
The proposal fails on all three main issues: it harms character and appearance, provides inadequate living conditions for future occupiers due to poor outlook, and provides insufficient car parking provision without justification.
