Hallinto-oikeus katsoi, että edellä mainitun parvekkeen vaikutus muutoksenhakijoiden olohuoneen ikkunanäkymään ja parvekkeelta olohuoneeseen oleva suora näköyhteys merkitsivät olohuoneen viihtyisyyden olennaista heikennystä. Tämän takia parvekkeen rakentamisesta katsottiin aiheutuvan tarpeettomasti haittaa muutoksenhakijoiden huoneistolle eikä edellytyksiä rakennusluvan myöntämiselle kyseiseltä osin siten ollut. Rakennuslupaa koskeva päätös kumottiin neljännen kerroksen parvekkeen osalta.
