Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal scheme upon the character and appearance on the appeal site and the area generally
What decided it
The proposed balcony would harm the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area by failing to harmonise with the prevailing pattern of Victorian terraced housing, contrary to development plan policies requiring high urban design quality and respect for local distinctiveness.
Plan policies cited: Policy LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character), Policy D3 (Optimising site capacity through the design-led approach), Policy D4 (Delivering good design), Hackney Supplementary Planning Document Residential Extensions and Alterations Local Development Framework (April 2009)
