Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 67 and 73 with particular regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The glazed construction of the balustrade, which allows light to pass through it, combined with its limited height and the screening effect of existing boundary fences, ensures that the proposal would not harmfully affect the character and appearance of the area or the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
