Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effects of the proposal on character and appearance
  • Effects on the living conditions of neighbours with particular regard to privacy
  • Effects on daylight and sunlight
  • Whether the proposal would afford appropriate living conditions for future occupants, with particular reference to internal space, waste and cycle provision
  • Whether appropriate provision is, or could, be made for associated parking implications

What decided it

The proposed balconies would be incongruous features out of keeping with the prevailing character of the area and would result in undue loss of privacy to neighbouring occupants, conflicting with development plan policies and NPPF paragraph 130 on design and amenity.
