Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the locality and the streetscene
What decided it

The modest benefits of additional accommodation and more efficient use of the plot would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on the character and appearance of the locality and the quality of the built environment.
