Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The dwelling's failure to meet minimum space standards, inadequate provision for cycle parking and refuse storage, unresolved fire safety concerns, and unacceptable impact on neighbouring amenity through noise and disturbance rendered the development unacceptable.
