Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy
- The character and appearance of the host property
What decided it
The actual and perceived loss of privacy for neighbouring occupiers combined with the prominent and incongruous visual impact of the balustrade on the character and appearance of the host property outweighed the benefits of providing usable outdoor space.
The benefits of providing usable outdoor space and screening views of neighbouring commercial premises did not outweigh the harm to neighbours' privacy and the character and appearance of the host property.
