Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 124 and 126 Dominion Road with regard to noise and disturbance
the effect of the proposed arrangements for refuse and recycling collection upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the proposed dwelling

What decided it

The adverse impacts of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

the significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of delivering a single accessible dwelling in a sustainable location with no 5-year housing land supply
