Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area including the setting of the designated heritage assets the Downs Conservation Area and the listed building known as St Ursula's High School
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring property 1 Brecon Close with particular regard to light levels, outlook and privacy

What decided it

The proposal would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the setting of a listed building, and would result in loss of outlook to neighbouring occupiers, with insufficient public benefits to justify these harms.
