Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
the effect of the proposed rear roof terrace on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to overlooking, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan through unduly harmful impacts on the character and appearance of the host property and area, and through significant adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions via overlooking from the roof terrace.
