Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties with particular regard to privacy, and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would harm both the character and appearance of the area by introducing an incongruous balcony inconsistent with the unified rear elevation of the terrace, and would cause unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring properties through increased overlooking from an elevated vantage point close to the site boundary.
