Why it was refused

  1. By virtue of its bulky appearance, prominent position, and overall visual dominance over the applicant building, the balcony structure is considered to be detrimental to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, contrary to the provisions of Policy EN 4 of adopted North Norfolk Core Strategy and paragraph 139 of the NPPF (2024), with regard also had to Policy ENV 08 of the Emerging North Norfolk Local Plan.
  2. By virtue of its prominent location, height, and openness, the balcony would give rise to increased overlooking to the detriment of residents of neighbouring properties. Accordingly, this application is contrary to Policy EN 4 of the NPPF (2024) with regard also had to Policy ENV 06 of the Emerging Local Plan. This Decision refers only to that required under the Town and Country Planning Acts and does not include any consent or approval under any other enactment, bylaw, order or regulation.

From the council's decision notice.
