Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
  • living conditions of occupiers of 22 and 26 Stretton Close, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The balcony would result in a high level of overlooking at close range into the garden of the neighbouring property at 26 Stretton Close, causing unacceptable harm to living conditions that could not be adequately mitigated by conditions without causing further harm.
