Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the balcony on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of the neighbouring residents, with particular reference to privacy and the potential for noise and disturbance

What decided it

The imposition of a condition requiring a privacy screen scheme to be submitted and approved by the local planning authority adequately mitigated the privacy harm to neighbouring occupiers, allowing the appeal to be allowed.
