The proposed elevated plastic decking to the rear with glass balustrade and erection of a wall to the front have been considered to have a detrimental visual impact upon the character of the Conservation Area and that of the street scene whereby the proposals neither preserve or enhance. The raised position and visual appearance of the decking and glass balustrade to the rear would attribute to an overly dominant feature that would lead to overlooking resulting in a loss of privacy to the dwelling at the rear contrary to General Policy 2 and Environmental Policy 35.
