Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The combination of appropriate integration with the host building and surrounding character, effective mitigation of neighbouring amenity impacts through obscure glazed screening, and satisfactory provision of private amenity space for future occupants persuaded the Inspector that the proposal should be allowed.
