Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposal, and maintained for the occupants of properties on Whalley Street, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, the floorspace of bedroom 3, the size of the private amenity space, and privacy
Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for parking and servicing, with particular regard to highway safety and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and the future occupants of the proposal

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan due to inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and neighbours caused by noise, substandard bedroom size, insufficient privacy, and inadequate parking provision, with no material considerations outweighing this harm.
