8 Thurlton Court, Woking, Horsell, GU21 4AU
construct a new balcony over the existing single storey extension with a low level glazed balustrade with stainless steel handrail. The new balcony will be offset to one side and chamfered so as to avoid the neighbouring site line. The glazing will be obscured so as to allow for privacy, but allow for light to freely pass through

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 7 and 9 Thurlton Court, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The limited additional overlooking from the proposed balcony, restricted by the insetting of the balustrade and the staggered layout of the terrace, would not be materially greater than the extensive overlooking already present from existing windows and structures.
