Refused
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
- The reduced roof terrace was considered acceptable with privacy screens, although some overlooking would remain.

- The committee voted 6–3 to refuse because of overdevelopment, privacy invasion and loss of neighbour’s amenities.
