Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having particular regard to privacy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of privacy from the proposed balcony is not outweighed by the modest benefits of the scheme, and the Framework's emphasis on good design supports the weight given to Policy 12 despite the out-of-date development plan.
The adverse impacts of the proposed development, particularly substantial harm to residential amenity through loss of privacy, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole, despite the out-of-date development plan.
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy 12 of the Local Plan, Policy GD1 of the Neighbourhood Plan, Policy BE12 of the Neighbourhood Plan, Policy C1 of the Climate DPD
