Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its elevated position, scale and projection, the proposed rear balcony would result in an unacceptable level of overlooking and a harmful loss of privacy to neighbouring residential properties to the rear. The development would therefore lead to a material deterioration in the living conditions of adjacent occupiers and is contrary to Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy and Policy DE1 of the Land and Planning Policies Document (LAPP)
  2. The proposed balcony, by virtue of its scale, depth and prominent appearance when viewed from the surrounding area, would appear incongruous and out of keeping with the established character of the host property and the wider street scene. The development would fail to achieve a high standard of design that responds positively to local context and would harm the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy and Policies DE1 and DE2 of the Land and Planning Policies Document (LAPP).

From the council's decision notice.
