Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed balcony extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking and loss of privacy

What decided it

The proposal would not result in an unacceptable loss of privacy or harm to residential amenity because the mutual overlooking relationship is already established within the terrace layout and the modest extension does not introduce new or intrusive sightlines.
