Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would result in a disproportionate and bulky extension that would adversely harm the character and appearance of the host building and streetscene, contrary to the development plan.
The support for sustainable economic growth in the NPPF does not override the requirement for development to be sympathetic to local character, and the development plan policies take precedence.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS5 of the Barnet Core Strategy (2012), Policy DM01 of the Barnet Development Management Plan (2012)
