Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The adverse effects on mixed and balanced communities, character of the area, and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers substantially outweighed the benefits of providing housing accommodation choice and effective use of land.
The benefits of housing accommodation choice, sustainable location, effective use of land and acceptable future occupier conditions were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on mixed and balanced communities, character of the area, and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise, disturbance and parking pressure.
