Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The failure to secure suitable mitigation for protected Habitats Sites at the point of decision, which under the Habitats Regulations prevents permission being granted absent overriding public interest and compensatory measures.
the benefits of one additional dwelling in a sustainable location were outweighed by the harm to the neighbour's living conditions and the unmitigated harm to protected Habitats Sites
