Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The harm to the setting of the Grade II registered park and garden through loss of an important gap in the street scene and introduction of inappropriate density, combined with harmful loss of daylight and sunlight to neighbouring occupants, outweighed the modest public benefits of a single additional dwelling.
