Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal building and its surroundings

The proposed development would not appear out of place given the existing variety in neighbouring building heights and the diversity of built forms in the locality, and would be acceptable in terms of its effect on character and appearance.
