Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The height, mass and visual prominence of the proposed roof terrace screening would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through overlooking and overbearing impact, and would be out of character with the traditional terraced rear courtyards.
