Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The proposal fails to accord with the development plan on multiple grounds: incongruous design harming character and appearance, inadequate external amenity space and poor outlook for future residents, likely harm to neighbouring trees and biodiversity, and failure to secure necessary planning obligations.
