Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regards to privacy and the occupiers of 29, 30 and 31-34 Arkle Court and 12 and 14 Fullers Walk
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The balcony results in significant loss of privacy for neighbouring occupiers and appears as a prominent and incongruous feature that harms the character and appearance of the area, contrary to adopted development plan policies.
Plan policies cited: Policy QOP1, Policy QOP2, Policy H5 of the Alnwick and Denwick Neighbourhood Plan
