| 1. | Due to the proximity and height of the proposed balcony, the development creates a raised outdoor amenity space which could be directly viewed from No. 2 Rye Gardens to the immediate east of the site, this would result in an unacceptable loss of amenity to the residents of the adjoining property through overlooking and the loss of privacy and through increased activity facilitated by the balcony leading to an increase in noise and disturbance to the said occupiers. Therefore, the application is contrary to Core Policy CS09 and Local Plan Part 2 Policies A1 and H9 which both seek to protect the amenity of neighbours. |
