Planning can be hard for outside space on upper levels as you suddenly oversee a lot of gardens.
We aren't overlooked at all right now and if someone wanted a balcony that would look into our garden I wouldn't be keen.
Presumably someone from planning would pay a visit and make an assessment? I genuinely don’t think we’d see much more than we can now through the windows. Especially the kitchen window which is exceptionally wide.
I think that's wishful thinking - people won't stand by a window looking out for hours, but a balcony in summer they might well do.
In my borough it's pretty much just a blanket ban, they're not going to come out and assess it.
