Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers, having particular regard to daylight and outlook
the effect of the proposal on the viability and vitality of the retail frontage
whether the proposal would make adequate provision for fire safety

What decided it

The proposal would harm both the living conditions of future occupiers due to poor daylight and outlook in the main living spaces, and the vitality of the retail frontage through significant reduction in retail floorspace, and these harms outweighed the modest benefit of providing one additional residential unit.
