Why it was refused
- The proposed first-floor balcony, by reason of its elevated position, proximity to neighbouring boundaries and direct relationship with adjoining residential properties, would result in unacceptable overlooking and a significant loss of privacy to the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings and their private rear garden areas. The development would therefore cause material harm to residential amenity and would be contrary to Policy DP7 of the adopted Local Plan Part I (2014), which requires development to safeguard the amenity of existing and future occupiers.
From the council's decision notice.
