Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of the host property and those of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed balcony would create unacceptable loss of privacy for neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and elevated sightlines, conflicting with development plan policies and NPPF requirements for acceptable amenity.
