Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the plans are sufficient to assess the proposal in terms of the effect it would have on the character and appearance of the area and on the provision of parking
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 7 Orchard Road with regard to overlooking and loss of privacy, and whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupiers of the host dwelling in terms of internal living space

What decided it

The combination of inaccurate and uncertain plans, failure to meet minimum parking standards under Policy CP64, and the creation of unacceptable living conditions through overlooking and poor internal design meant the proposal could not be justified despite the personal circumstances of the occupants.
