Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area
whether the obligations necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms would be secured
whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with specific regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to character and appearance caused by the loss of characteristic separation and disruption of the established urban grain, combined with the failure to secure necessary planning obligations through completed legal mechanisms, outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
