Why it was refused

  1. The proposed alterations, including the flat roof and balcony, would result in a materially different form of development to that approved under ref. 22/1228/FH as the balcony introduces potential overlooking and loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers. The proposal does not therefore constitute a non‑material amendment and therefore planning permission is required.

From the council's decision notice.
