Whilst it would be possible to look towards the facing bedroom window of No 113 King Edward Road from the new balcony, the view would be at some distance, only slightly below that recommended in the Residential Design Guide, and similar to that already available from existing vantage points. Consequently, it is considered that any minor increase in overlooking would not warrant refusal. Overall, therefore, the proposed development would not be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area and it would cause no additional harm in respect of neighbouring living conditions. It would comply with the relevant policies of the Development Plan. Date of Issue: 26th January 2026 A MORGAN Interim Director of Planning and Building Control
