Planning appeal 3267757 at Flat A, 16 Bryantwood Road, London, N7 7BE (London Borough of Islington) was dismissed on 13 September 2021 by Inspector Savage K, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area.
Removal of an existing wooden shed that was used for storage (completed), removal of an old wooden shed used for garden tools, and erection of a wooden clad garden shed, at the end of the garden (almost complete). The new shed is of insulated timber construction, on in-situ cast concrete beams, with a gently sloping felt roof. To the south side, facing the house, there are three bi-fold double glazed doors, protected by a 0.8 m overhang. This south facing wall will be clad in clear varnished tongue and groove vertical boarding

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The shed's substantial size and full-width span would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area by creating an imposing, overbearing structure that upsets the consistent garden layout of the terrace and dominates neighbouring properties' outlook.
The largely private benefits arising for the appellant would not outweigh the public harm to the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS9Policy DM2.1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
