Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the appeal property
  • the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to privacy, outlook, odours, noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regards to outlook

What decided it

The obscurely glazed balustrade set inside the parapet wall, combined with the modest size and rear location of the terrace, ensures the proposal would be a subservient addition that does not materially harm character and appearance or unacceptably impact neighbouring living conditions.
