Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed roof terrace railings and Juliette-style balcony would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and would unduly compromise the privacy of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
