Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the height of the proposed building on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring residential properties having regard to outlook, natural light and privacy
whether it would include enough on-site car parking spaces

What decided it

The height of the proposed building would not cause harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residential properties having regard to outlook, natural light and privacy, and the on-site car parking provision was adequate.

Subject to conditions the proposal would accord with the development plan and there were no other material considerations suggesting the decision should be taken other than in accordance with the development plan.
