Because there's a minimum standard usually applied to rental housing like this. You can argue all sorts of things aren't required - including the minimum size of units, or indoor amenity space, etc. etc.
There isn't a blanket requirement that every unit must have a balcony: the guidelines say "Private outdoor space should be provided through patios for ground floor units or balconies for upper units. An exception to individual private balconies can be made for studio and one-bedroom units where generous common outdoor space is provided." The problem here is that the scheme doesn't have a generous common outdoor space instead of the balconies.
