Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The harmful impact on character and appearance through the introduction of an incongruous single-storey form that would be prominent in the street scene, combined with unacceptable privacy conditions for future occupants and failure to secure adequate refuse bin provision through a legally sound obligation.
