Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for its future occupiers with respect to internal and external space
the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 17 and 17a Crowell Road with regard to their outlook
the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to insufficient internal space and private garden area, and would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of sunlight and overbearing outlook.
