Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Impact of the proposal upon neighbouring residential amenity
  • Impact of the proposal upon the character of the wider rural area

What decided it

The glazed balustrade, being a lightweight structure on a flat roof rather than a substantial extension, does not give rise to unacceptable impact on neighbouring amenity or the character of the rural area when assessed on the basis of the proposal as submitted (retention of the balustrade only, not creation of a usable balcony).
