Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed protruding balconies would add visual interest and detail to the building's design without harmfully complicating its overall appearance, and the prominent corner location gives the building sufficient individuality to accommodate the variation.

Plan policies cited: CS1, CS5, CS NPPF, DM01, D3
