Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, noise and disturbance
- Whether any harm arising is outweighed by material considerations, including personal circumstances
What decided it
The balcony fundamentally alters the privacy relationship with neighbouring properties by enabling significantly increased overlooking from an elevated position, creating unacceptable harm to neighbouring occupiers that is not justified by the appellant's personal circumstances.
