A plan to add a balcony to a bungalow in a Norfolk village that led to a row between neighbours has been approved.
A homeowners’ bid to create an extension to their property on Trunch Road in Mundesley has been approved by North Norfolk District Council.
The scheme will see a balcony added to one side, which has led to a bitter feud with neighbours, who fear it will be “overbearing” and will lead to a loss of privacy.
It previously came before the council’s planning committee last month but was delayed so members could visit the site.
At that meeting, a member of Trunch Parish Council accused the homeowner, Harry Little, of being “intimidating”, something that was denied by Mr Little.
Addressing last Thursday’s committee, Mr Little said: “We are quiet neighbours, and we will not create any extra noise or light because we have a balcony.
“The balcony will only be accessible from the master bedroom and would only be used as a place of relaxation and not entertainment.”
The scheme was approved with nine votes for, two against and one abstention.
