Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The poor standard of living conditions for future occupiers, particularly the unresolved ambiguity over bedroom sizes and inadequate privacy protection, conflicts with development plan policies and outweighs the limited benefits of the proposal.
the benefits of granting planning permission for the proposals would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on living conditions
