Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The inadequate separation distance between the proposed dwelling and the neighbouring flat at No 130 would result in harmful overlooking and unacceptable living conditions that could not be adequately mitigated, combined with failure to provide required bulky waste storage.
