Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and would significantly harm the living conditions of neighbouring residents through loss of daylight and outlook, with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts with the development plan.
