Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties, with particular regard to visual impact, privacy and noise

What decided it

The imposition of a condition requiring obscure-glazed panels to both sides of the balcony prevents unacceptable overlooking and loss of privacy to neighbouring properties, allowing the proposal to comply with development plan policies.
