Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed balcony on the living conditions of the occupiers of Treen House and Higher Alderhey, with regard to privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The balcony's elevated position and semi-open nature would allow direct overlooking into neighbouring rear gardens and generate significant noise and disturbance that would substantially harm the living conditions of occupiers of Treen House and Higher Alderhey.
